Clematis 'Ville De Lyon'

forgot to cut it and now it has long bare stems below

Forgot to prune before and now it sprouted on very long bare stem. Now it is too late, I will prune above the sprouted and let it hang.

I must have done something good this year! It produced only one flower last year 🌺

Mine was a new plant last year and I only got a couple flowers, this year it has done much better

🤞

#newgrowth this year I pruned it at the correct heigh

Poor thing, I don't have any more recent photo, but it needs to be planted into the ground.

Now I can clearly see it would be better if I had cut it shorter. Yet I'm glad it come back, that is only important.

Buds on mine!

Guess who is alive! Yay 😍

#pruning above shoots done 23.2: yet it's type 3 clematis supposed to be pruned hard, I should done it earlier now I don't want to cut the shoots. To be aware next time.

I have this one too, waiting impatiently for signs of survival!

@lesliecole49 if it is class 3, prune it before it wakes up, class 3 flowers on this year growth and I didn't know that

#newgrowth

I'm learning that, mine are group 2 but none doing really well for me so I'm really hoping they all come back this year. I know one has died but there's a few more I'm crossing my fingers for

Oh, right this is a group 3, I'll have to do some more research on it. I have it so it'll wind up a wooden post but it did poorly last year I'm not sure how much of it is there to even prune!

#happy-about-first-flower but sad about that bud below

Before planting

It was planted that day, together with the friend that didn't make it.
