My dad used to have one but killed it one year and he misses it! :) thanks in advance I asked this about a month ago and no takers then either I'm afraid. I found several nurseries that said they had it (online) but when actually pushed to confirm they said they hadn't got it after all! Where have they all disappeared to I wonder?

Some of ours have been plagued with that in recent years. Picking off affected leaves seems to slow the spread but is a PITA. It's only some varieties; the hebes with large leaves and large bottlebrush flowers. Janet Thats the one Janet, huge shame as like you in a mild place they are wonderful fast evergreens but here they become long bare branches with just a tuft of new leaves at the ends and much more likely to die during winter -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Is it at all related to the rose black spot fungus, do you know? (and hence, treatable* with black spot spray) * not that I've found it very effective! |

Some were very sensitive to fungus disease and died out, but I have one or two that were barely affected and seemed resistant to it. In particular a lovely purple-red one that I was pleased to have survive, and I have it in several places in the garden. It's also very salt-gale tolerant. It got badly cut back by the cold weather earlier this year, but it did come through and has grown again well. If you or Janet would like some cutting material, I can oblige, although it may be a bit late this year. I also have a very dark blue-purple one, with purplish leaves, although smaller flowers than the above. For years it struggled against fungus, and I moved it from place to place in the garden, even had it in a pot for a while. Eventually I just shoved it into an empty spot in a do-or-die attitude, and at last it's started growing as it should, and even had a couple of flowers this autumn. Perhaps it's at last developed a resistance. Not big enough for cuttings yet, though. Don't know the names of either of them I'm afraid. I would like to try the purple red one next year if you have a surplus. I do miss having them in the garden -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
