It would probably surprise many people to know that clematis are in the Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) With such a huge range of Clematis available these days it is important to understand which situations they are suitable for and what the pruning requirements are. Most Clematis prefer humus-rich well drained soil with the base of the plant in shade. The large flowered hybrids can be susceptible to Clematis wilt, a fungal disease which causes the plant to apparently wilt. The only remedy is to cut the plant as hard back as possible. We grow plants which are resistant to Clematis wilt.
