I know we should not plant a clematis in the same place where one has
died, in case of wilt, but for how many years does this apply?
I lost 2 cllematis (one in back garden, one in front) during the
winter of 2002/2003. No growth appeared in 2003, though one in
particular had grown profusely in 2002.
I want to replace them. Could I take a chance and replant?
Replacing a LOT of the soil isn't practical for me.
Any thoughts?
TIA
