Such a pure white. I think my clematis is dying. Turning brown and crispy from the roots up. Will try again next year 👍

@hkyfvr should send up new shoots in spring and old stems will come back to life too. I have cut all mine back to ground level this year (thanks cat 😂) and they’ve all re-emerged ☺️

@hkyfvr @KOutdoors wish it had just been claw marks. I have a row of clematises along a stretch of fence - think there’s 9 different ones - and the cat must have done a diagonal run as it took down chunks of 6 different vines 😏 fortunately there’s still about half of each left but this white one had to be cut back entirely

@KOutdoors I think maybe a small 4 legged creature with big teeth and a long tail 🙈 my neighbour has them around his pond 😡

I am so sorry that happened Kerry. If it isn’t pests or weather it is an animal attacking plants and gardens. So many obstacles to overcome. We gardeners are a hardy lot. It will grow back better than ever. 👍😊

@hkyfvr we have to be pretty resilient to fight nature, even though all we are trying to do is nurture it 😜 you’re right though, they’ll grow back. Probably be better than before too 😁

@KOutdoors sadly so 😞 I’ve lined all the baseboards of my fence with steel so they don’t try come in 😂 I watched the cat on my wildlife camera and you can see he heard it scuttling next door. So long as they stay there!!! 🥴

Looks like that's got some decent seeds forming. 2 years ago I got one to grow from a seed head like this for the first time ever!

comment
kez001uk

@jeatacake I’m taking it from that they’re difficult to grow from seed then? I wouldn’t mind trying though 😜 are they ready to stick in compost now?

5w
comment
jeatacake

I've found it difficult (& cuttings of them impossible!) I'd let them get a tinge of brown first. What I did was to lay the whole seed head on the compost & covered it with about 5 mm of grit & next spring, one seedling emerged! It was from my mum's too! 😊

@keezooluk clematis is one of my favorite. I have 2 and just now figured out what one was and the group it belongs to. Still scratching my head thinking about pruning it.

5w
comment
kez001uk

@ReginaSanders they have such beautiful flowers don’t they 😍 I must admit I have little clue about pruning them. I did it wrong with most of mine so haven’t had many flowers so far so this year I’ve left them all alone to see what happens. It’s all very confusing isn’t it 😂

5w
comment
ReginaSanders

@keezooluk I have done so much research but the only thing I learned is I need to get the group you give a hard prune late winter/early spring. Or as soon as you see a little life.

comment

@ReginaSanders are yours well established plants? All mine are still tiny so if I hard prune now I’d have nothing left 😂

comment
ReginaSanders

@keezooluk I have a purple one I've had 3 years and it's literally been ripped out of it's pot 7 times by my dog and my cousins dog. Poor thing is still kicking. I've never trimmed it. Still trying to figure out what it is. The other one I got for my birthday in July. It was pretty good size but I had to repot it and I don't think that pots big enough. 👎it's a Miss Bateman. I'll sure keep you posted.

5w
comment
kez001uk

@ReginaSanders the Miss Bateman one is beautiful 😍 I look forward to seeing photos when you post them 😁 maybe with the purple one it might be worth pruning some of the plant and leaving some old growth. At least then you can see what works best and if you do make a mistake you won’t affect the whole plant 🤔
