Zone 6Q.clematis and hydrangeas getting dark brown leaves
Why are my clematis plants and hydrangeas getting dark brown leaves that start from the bottom of the plant and work its way upward? Most leaves start browning at the edges and continue spreading until the entire leaf is brown and dried up. This disease spreads quickly, killing the whole plant. I cut down the clematis to right above the ground and used more poles and a trellis to let it spread out more. I also watered once a week. It is growing back quickly but I have already noticed the browning of the leaves near the bottom of the plant again. Please help. Thanks much!

August 21, 2015Q.clematis
I have a clematis, which is approx 3 yrs old and is in a container. It is situated in a backyard, northeast facing. The top half has turned purple, all the stems, leaves and tendrils, etc. I think that this must be due to nutrient deficiency. What does anyone else think?

September 12, 2015Q.Pruning clematis
My Hagley hybrid Clematis has finished flowering and the leaves are all turning brown. Can I prune this now or should I wait till early spring? It is just that it sits outside my back door and is not pretty to look at at the moment.

September 14, 2015A.Hold off pruning until early spring for most types or following bloom in others. This article may be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm

LondonQ.Pruning viticelli clematis
All advice says to prune in late winter/early spring before growth starts. But this winter is so mild I have growth already and one in particular has masses of growth quite high up. Should I cut them down now - risking possible frost later - or wait until say February? But then I will be cutting a lot of growth off so am worried they will do it all for a second time!

December 23, 2015A.February or March is a great time to hard prune your Viticella Clematis variety.
You can hard prune right back to ground level, but I like to prune to about 12 inches in height.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/pruning-clematis-vines.htm

97434Q.How to prune clematis vine
I have an old clematis vine that has never been pruned. It blooms in summer and I was told that you can't prune them when they have a lot of old wood. What can I do? It blooms at the top, not anywhere else. Thank you.
