So i guess i shouldnt cut clematis all the way down... does this mean it will still grow?

today i cut my mother's clematis plant down so it is about six inches off the ground....will it still survive? will it still flower?

clematis need to be researched to see how the one you have needs cut..... and when....





do you know it's name?... when it flowers?.... does it flower twice in the year?....





here's something to read about it...

when in doubt, don't cut.... some clematis make it obvious , like the nearly wild Sweet Autumn.... it's vines die in winter and if not cut back nearly to the ground, there's old dead stuff all over it the next year... see?... but the bigger flowered ones don't give a lot of hints.... I go by the rule of 'when in doubt don't cut'..... and mine flower fine.... I clip off any dead vine later, after the leaves come out....





since you've already cut, just make sure the plant gets a good feed and then get a picture of the flower so you can make a stab at finding it's name and pruning type....k?...
