Clematis armandii "Apple Blossom"
In February I purchased a Clematis armandii. I live in the North
East of England and have planted this plant on a south facing wall. The two main stems have grown very well and have put on about 24-30 inches. However, all of the new leaves have withered away. I do not think that this is Clematis Wilt as the growing tips are still growing healthily. There are 2 other buds which appear to have started to grow but are not making any progress. Could this be caused by cold spells of weather or could there be some other cause? Should I prune these shoots back? If so when is the best time to do it? I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks. Les |

Many thanks. Les Sounds like cold damage, these are normally tough as old boots. I'm guessing the garden centre probably wintered it in a polytunnel and it hadn't been outside very long when you bought it. For the time being I'd just leave it alone and watch it for a few weeks, then prune off anything dead. Rod Weed my email address to reply http://website.lineone.net/~rodcraddock/index.html |

Many thanks. Les Its frost damage, should recover and next year it will be better prepared as it will have been in situ longer. don't worry if some leaves go brown in summer either as this is normal. armandii is winter green rather than evergreen, it changes leaves in the summer. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
