Clematis wilt is a devastating fungal disease that strikes plants in summer. It primarily targets large-flowered clematis and blocks the movement of water, causing stems to blacken and die within 48 hours.
When you grow clematis, you need to know the signs of clematis wilt. The disease can be confused for other issues, but when clematis wilt is present, you want to cut back infected stems quickly to stop it spreading. The good news is that a healthy clematis can recover and send up new shoots.
