pruning clematis jackmanii

» katy29 - pruning clematis jackmanii I have my clematis growing up an 5' obelisk thathas already over grown with no where else to go. It is a little leggy in the center but new growth is tremendous. I have a 7' obelisk that I would like to switch it with? I don't want to damage it. It is approx. 3-years old. Help. -- posted by katy29 » sward4 - Re: pruning clematis jackmanii In response to message posted by katy29:Hi Katy, The best thing to do is nothing until early spring. 'Jackmanii’ is a Group C Clematis, so it needs to be pruned severely in early spring before growth begins. (Cut back all its stems to a pair of strong buds six to eight inches (15 to 20 cm) above the level of the soil.) Then it will be a whole lot easier to move it into a new location, or just exchange one obelisk for another without damaging the plant. Susan -- posted by sward4
