Hi folks I have just planted out clematis rebecca I have 4good stems and 3that are dead should I cut the dead stems out and if so how far down should I cut them off.
She's a lovely clematis. I've had this one in a pot for 4yrs now.
I prune in spring back to a good set of buds, but don't go too low. Then after the first flush (now) I'll prune back again to a good set of buds and give a little BFB.
Good luck
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Thanks Jess - I dress it with a little BFB in spring and again about now. Every few weeks I give it a little tomato feed during the flowering period, but not too much. The problem I usually get in mid summer is mildew as the pot frequently dries out while I'm at work in the day

You might find a few new shoots coming through later anyway Wills, if you've planted it deeply. It encourages that
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Wow that's very pretty Pete8. Do you feed it with anything? It looks very healthy.
