Clematis has MILDEW? leaves turning yellow with spots, grey spots on flowers too, ?can it be saved?

Are you sure this is mildew? It sounds more like either an insect problem or perhaps a mineral deficiency. Watch for holes and galls in the leaves, or leaves curling around webs: a good sign of insects. If all you have is a color change, try testing your soil's PH balance, and make sure you haven't over-fertilized.





If your clematis developes white fuzzy patches, it is a sign of powdery mildew, and your plant is a goner!





Your local library should be able to provide you with some really good gardening books, that will answer a lot of your questions about plant care.

is pretty much dead, may be wilt, have trimmed back, and see if comes back next year Report It

Reply:i think so,try putting a drop of dish soap in 2 cups of water,spray the plant, do the under side of leaves %26amp; flower too ,this should take care of the problem
