Default 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.

My Niobe clematis, planted under a rosemary bush to give shade to the
roots, a couple of years old, has collapsed already. 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.

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?
