May flowering clematis pruning

I just  looked at my clematis - name forgotten! New shoots appearing so is it too late to prune. It flowered beautifully last May. Only planted last year. An Aldi bargain!

    I think it's too late to prune it now if it flowered in May last year. Group 3 clematis are pruned now and and they flower later. You will lose flowers if you prune it now.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Would you need to prune the clem? Spring flowering ones are often best left to their own devices.
