Mystery of the reappearing clematis
In early May my Niobe clematis went very ill. When I tried to dig it up
to move it, I could find no root at all. Ah well, I thought, wait for next year. Imaging my surprise when I found new shoots, now about two feet high, working their way through the rosemary, and the nearby trellis. No sign of disease at all. A mystery.

It is a couple of years old, and for the last two years has at least produced a few beautiful flowers before giving up the ghost. I didn't know about planting an inch or so down when I planted it. Is it too late to move it? Anything I can do to revive it? It's lovely enough to put some work into keeping it. On Fri, 2 May 2003, Lazarus Cooke wrote: thanks Jane. I got the message, tried digging it up, but there seemed to be no root there at all. The stem snapped off just below the ground, and I couldn't find anything much underneath it all. I think it's time to buy a new plant! Don't rush. You must understand why there was no root, or the new plant may have the same fate. Vine Weevil? Where there any white grubs in the soil?
