Evergreen clematis dying?

marie fletcher-bluett asked 13 years ago

I planted this evergreen clematis last year, it was doing well but I noticed some starting dying off in the last few months. See the attached pictures. It is planted against a screen about 2 metres from an established silver birch. Is there anything I can do to save it?

More than likely it is suffering from drought, due to the roots of the birch which would be easily affecting the soil two metres away.

Put a slow drip on it for a few hours every week or two in the growing season and mulch heavily with compost or rotted leaves.
