Clematis - part 2
I posted around a week ago about a couple of young clematis being
eaten up. (Rebecca and Henryi - if this is relevant) I found and evicted a family of snails tenanting a hole in the mortar of a flint and lime wall behind the plant and whether they were the culprits or not the feeding frenzy seems to slowed or even stopped. But the plants seemed to have either stopped growing or slowed so much that progress is almost imperceptible. A couple of slightly chewed flowers have taken much longer to open than I remember with other plants and while most of the leaves are erect (a few have wilted) they look dull. When I bought and planted these last august - small, about 70cms high - they seemed to settle in quite well and put on a little growth before the season end. They started out promisingly this spring pushing up again. There's an established clematis which looks very healthy only 4 metres away growing through a petiolaris . The two infants are about 10 cms from a wall with just a wire network for climbing. Could there be a problem here? Are they just about to peg out? Should I give up on them and try again asap or might patience be rewarded? Perhaps a feed or some remedial strategy? Thanks for any insight. |
