Should a clematis be dead headed?

Yes, dead head Clematis but do not cut the dried vines - new growth will come from old vines in the future. Also, no matter what you do clematis likes a "hot head %26amp; cool feet." Put a rock over the bottom of the plant and do not mess with the roots - that's the fastest way to snuff the life out of any self-respecting clematis.

Should a clematis be dead headed?
I practice dead heading on all flowering plants for longer flowering cycle and fuller, healthier looking vegetation.
