RE: fried clematis

If you keep watering it, very likely.  But you might consider moving it next spring.

Subject: fried clematis


We had a very hot dry summer here in the upper midwest and I think I 
may have lost a Dr. Ruppel clematis.

I planted it two years ago on the south side of my pale cream brick 
home (feet in the shade under a nearby bush).  It began to climb 
nicely in the spring and got about 5 feet high and then literally 
fried in the heat (both stems and all leaves are crispy brown).  It 
was watered regularly, but I think the heat radiating off the brick 
toasted it.

Anyone care to speculate on my chances of it coming up again?
