It starts growing again in the late spring and by end of May it is probably 12 feet up the trellis on the back of the house. The garden centre says you can leave it from year to year but I don't like all those dead leaves etc. and after a few years it gets quite overwhelming in fullness. I find there are more flowers if I cut it back every year. Of course, our climate is very different than yours and you have a much longer growing season.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-13186933605297732142015-05-05T15:40:30.139+01:002015-05-05T15:40:30.139+01:00So far so good.

No idea about pruning, we grow a clematis round an arch with a rose and we just leave it… will wait until you say differently!
