Clematis Pruning Group 3 Clematis in group 3 consist of late-flowering species that bloom from mid-summer into fall. This group flowers on the last 2 to 3 feet of the current season's growth (new wood). They are easy to prune because you do not need to maintain any old wood. In February or March, cut each stem to a height of 6 to 12 inches above the soil line. Make sure to leave two good buds on the stems below where you make your cut. New growth will emerge from these buds to produce the current seasons abundant vines and blooms.
