clematis problems
I planted 2 clematis back in early April. They are 2 differnt
varieties, but I can't find the labels at the oment so i can't say what they are - sorry. Both did really well initially, putting out lots of growth and climbing well. Then one stopped growing and showed some yellowing on the lower leaves, while the other thrived and has about doubled in height. This one has now also stopped growing and is beginning to show yellow leaves. Any ideas? Sam |

Are you watering them enough or too much? Have you fed them? I give mine Miracle-Grow now and then - they seem to like it. -- Drakanthus.

clematis problems
Having discussed this witha neightbour today, I think they might not
have had enough water. I have been watering them, but she pointed out they are by a hedge and the competition may betoo much. I'm going to try watering them a bit more and will try feeding them as well. I dod put a good supply of organic feed in when I planted them, but could probably do with some more now.

clematis problems
I would be sure to move them in the autumn to a more suitable position
No matter how much you feed them or water them the hedge will take most of the attention Clematis do better without the competition of other hungry feeders "Sam" wrote in message ...

Sam One of my clematis (Viviene Pennel) produces 2 flushes of flowers - doubles followed by singles later in the season. It produced a dozen flowers, now the whole plant seems to be dying. All the other clematis are doing fine - it's a mystery. Paul |
