I bought 2 clematis avalanche a few months ago, planted up in large containers against a wall and began training them over a wooden trellis.
They were growing away happily until a couple of weeks ago (after extended rainfall and very chilly days) when I noticed that the containers were waterlogged (I'd forgotten to put drainage holes in them). After putting holes in them they drained off and I added a little fresh MCP. Today I noticed one of them is looking droopy with many of the newer shoots and bottom foliage limp, floppy and lacking in colour.
I'm guessing that this may be a result of the poor plant having sat in cold water for days - is there anything I can do to perk it up, I'd hate to lose it through my stupidity.
