| I have a 2 yr old Ernest Markham planted in the ground at the same spot but somehow it hasn't come out yet at all.
My other clematis have started to bloom. Is it dead? :( |

| I have two clemantis planted in different areas..this is the first year that they haven't bloomed. The leaves are growning well..but no blooms as yet. Do I need to dig up and plant new ones? |
RE: Is My Clematis dead?

| No..you don't need to dig them up...it's still early...let them grow and bloom..new leaves is a good thing..did you give them fertilizer?...Jeanne |

| What Jeannie said. The nights have been very cool this spring, which contributes to bloom time delay. |

| No, fertilizer.. I think I read it shouldn't be a regular plant fertilizer. Your right it has been cool. We may have frost tonight and tomorrow night..in Ohio. |

| Fertilize them with an organic rose or tomato fertilizer or manure or compost or alfalfa pellets. |

| I just got in from covering the tender things because we're suppose to have frost tonight, too. I don't have enough stuff to cover the clematis, but they are pretty hardy. The first bloom started opening today, so I cut it and brought it in the house. As it warmed up the sepals fell open. |
