Hi Everyone, I am Mick, a newbie and I live in Bournemouth, United kingdom.
I purchased and planted, a clematis (Rebbeca) two years ago, it was duly planted and has been growing successfully since then on a sturdy trellis in my front south facing garden.
This year 2024 we had some very strong winds, in March and April, which snapped off all the growing shoots, as a result (in early May) my clematis is flowering profusely, but is little more than a 15 inches high, and not covering my trellis as it did last year.
Is it feasible to prune it now (May 6th) to encourage it to grow taller later in the year, and if so where on the plant should I make the cuts.
Would appreciate any feed back,
Thank you Mick D
