Pruning
In general, pruning clematis is recommended in the late winter or early spring, before new growth has begun. Clematis 'Belle of Woking' should receive light pruning annually, which simply means cutting away any dead or damaged stems, and lightly pruning tangles or excessive growth. Avoid severe pruning that could damage the clematis's healthy structure. If more serious pruning is needed, the precise timing and approach can vary based on the variety—consult a specialist before pruning, and note that the result of the pruning work may take a few years to become apparent.
