Clematis

[Trevbet]

We have planted Clematis in a narrow border and whilst the centre growth has been satisfactory the laterals, which we have tried to train along wires, have withered and died. We wonder why this might be.

[val.24]

This is possibly clematis wilt. Did you plant the clematis deep enough. i.e the depth of the pot and that depth again . Cover the ground round the plant with stones to keep them in the shade and water well
