Hi :o)). My Clematis are growing but how can you tell which ones to cut down as I have a lot of dead growth on some of them, name tickets long gone.?

Difficult - if some of them are quite tall and are showing growth right at the top with none below, that might mean they're the ones that should be cut down. Unfortunately, its a bit late to cut them down anyway, they should have been done by mid February at the latest, but they won't suffer if you do it now, you'll just have to wait longer for flowers this year.

You could have a go at identifying the clematis by comparing the flowers on Taylor's website. They colour code so you don't need to trawl the whole site. Also when they flower should give you an idea. 'Flower before June dont prune' ( in February ).
