Q&A - Why are my clematis leaves wilting?
Question:
My H.F. Young Clematis leaves are wilting. What is the cause and how can I correct the problem?
Answer:
Wilting clematis leaves are often caused by a condition called clematis wilt. This is a fungal infection. The fungus produces black spots on the stems and leaves. Those spots become lesions and the lesions slow the movement of water in the vine, so it wilts. The way to solve the problem is by pruning out the infected parts of the plant. Often this means pruning it down to the ground. The plant will come back and the new shoots will be healthy.
