I have a huge clematis. I cut it back in mid March. It bloomed profusely through May and early June.?

It has stopped blooming and much of the under part is dead. Can I cut it back now and thin it out? Will it come back this year?

I dont think it will rebloom again, I think its season is over. As long as you dont thin out to much or cut down to close to ground its ok. I leave mine alone tho,except to trim out dryed areas,then in late Sept I cut down to about 12-14" from ground.
Reply:I would say wait until the fall like the other poster said. Mine is still blooming and has quite a few buds that won't be opening for a little while. I would say wait until. I took out the dead stuff in mine in the early spring, since I didn't last year. I would wait until the fall. Some of mine looked dead, but wasn't really.





If you're asking if it will bloom again, i would say probably not.
Reply:Wait until the fall to do that.
Reply:We had one of them and ended up taking it out because it overtook the place! They're just uncontrollable. I think you can cut it back now because it grows back whatever you do to it!
