Rhapsody Pruning

As some of you told me, Rhapsody is setting buds almost as fast as it leafs out. It looks like I'll get blooms in May.

I don't remember the pruning instructions you offered. Should I cut Rhapsody back after the first bloom cycle? If so, how short? This is the 3rd season for this plant.

Thanks.

Harry...Clematis "Rhapsody" is a Pruning group 2...those are NOT PRUNED once established except AFTER their bloom period and ONLY to shape or keep in bounds...But you might opt to hard prune as some do every year...Myself...I am letting him grow up to be a big boy and be a pruning group 2....Jeanne
