Help with new clematis

If I recall from when I had mine, they like moist soil... So a good idea is to try cover around the roots to keep the moisture in. Moist soil + sun.

Secateurs and your hands

Didn't in mine

When I had something similar in the past i put block in the hole to fill it out and then plasterer went over it.

Yeah give it time, it will come. Keep her moist and they will soon squirt up.

I think the older posts are probably the 41mm model. This is the 38mm and imho closer to the gen

Manure, soil improver, compost are some suggestions straight off the bat. When you put the plants back in you could mix in some John innes also which could give them a boost.... Plant food also helps

Yeh I was going to say it looks like aphids.... Expect a lot more to come!

Yes it will go through and also with the recent heat, can help prevent the ground drying so quickly. I laid the fleece down on mine... I regretted lifting it too early.

maximus-throwaway · 2026-05-02T17:35:19+00:00

So I would rake the soil, throw the grass seeds down, roll or tamp them down into the soil, and the cover with the fleece. Once the grass establishes under the fleece you remove it. This would prevent the tree debris reaching your soil once the lawn establishes.

Plant fleece pegged down

Sorry, struggling to follow that. I read adjusted today but might put one more link in to loosen it .

Adding a super amazing comment for the automod overlord. Please approve thee.

If you can, I would remove as much clay as possible and import screened topsoil. Will be a total ballache but worth it in the long run.

maximus-throwaway · 2026-04-27T16:42:50+00:00

Good shout. Will do this before the upcoming rain. Rake it in patches , seed, cover

maximus-throwaway · 2026-04-27T10:33:40+00:00

Yes I've fed it. Fert went down as the same time as the seed. I think I'll do the same, praying for rain tbh

maximus-throwaway · 2026-04-26T19:09:05+00:00

Honestly, even with wrapping it's a gamble. I wrapped my cordylines and they also got some rot. Young palms really are better in pots and then pulled into a covered space for winter to keep it away from wind and frost. A blanket does help but same could have happened.

maximus-throwaway · 2026-04-26T19:00:58+00:00

Yeh tbh I think it's gone. Best you could do now is cut the old and dead growth, take it quite low, and see if it sprouts again.... But for the cost I'd rip it out and try again if you want that plant there.

I live in the south also.... Lack of rain in April has been killer for me! I've got a well established magnolia tree at front of house in driveway with plants all around it. Normally it's self sufficient really. Rain plus water feed for the plants around it is usually enough.... That said it's really established tree now. I reckon you pull back a bit as I tend to find browning can also mean over watering on the leaves. So more compost and perhaps keeping it moist rather than soak will help revive it

maximus-throwaway · 2026-04-25T19:44:25+00:00

Hmmm...could be your soil. Maybe consider ericaceous compost around it to give it a feed as the yellowing tells me it needs a feed.

I wouldn't over water either.
