Clematis wilt omg!

[Vickilou]

15 years of growing these, I thought it must be a myth. Oh no ... One of mine has succumbed
I know to cut down, below ground, if nessacery, done that, what else can I do?
Any tips welcome x

Can anyone save miss Bateman?

Cut off the wilted stuff, water the plant and cross your fingers?

One of mine had wilt last year, it came back again during the summer, this year it has grown normally and flowered.

Thankyou Martin h, just what I wanted to here. It's watered well, all wilted bits cut down, is there still some hope?
Btw can you plant Clems near others that have had this?
Thanks for any replies x

Sorry took so long to reply, I didn't see your post, thankyou anyway x

Like Martin I have had a clematis with wilt I cut it down to ground level and removed all the top growth I had to do that 2years in a row but it was fine last year, and I have several other clematis growing close by

This is the first year in three one of mine hasn't wilted (yet) and it is covered in flowers for the first time and grown twice as far. Probably about to die, then.
All I did was cut off the wilted growth and fed andmulched.
