Moving a Clematis Montana
in Plants
Hi all, I’m hoping I may be able to get some advice on moving a potted clematis Montana. It’s well established and is growing along a wire fence.



The fence is coming down and the clematis is going to a different location in the ground.
Question is... where / how high do I chop this back? It’s pretty woody on its main stems and it’s still chucking on growth.
It’s in a tiny pot at the moment, I never water or feed it and it’s about 2meters tall and 4 meters wide.

We inherited when we bought the house a couple of years back and the garden is now finally being landscaped ... so now is the time to move it.
The ground workers arrive tomorrow so sadly it has to be done now.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks

They're fairly indestructible, so just as @Bijdezee says - well watered before and after, and get the new planting hole ready before you start. Much easier.
You can cut it back to a few feet, and it's just a case of losing flowers for a while, as already said
