A Clematis I have had for a year or two flowered really well in early summer but then appeared to wilt and die within 24 hours. I inspected the roots, expecting to find the dreaded Vine Weevil grubs but there where none. Hoping it was just "Clematis Wilt" I cut it right down, re-potted it in a new pot in fresh compost. Within a few weeks it recovered and produced new growth, then buds appeared and now it's in full flower!

The problem must have been "Clematis Wilt" and now we have a late flowering bonus to end our summer.
Back from the dead! That's a lovely Clematis and a bright cheerful colour for this time of year - especially as it's a grey dull day where I am.
ReplyDeleteit's brightening up our garden and I'm pleased it's recovered. Thanks Mike.
