It has me puzzled. It seems to want to grow but then stops. Would you be curious enough to dig it up and move it? Something isn't making that clematis happy.
Our water is chlorinated and more than 100 clematises haven't had any problems.
Are the stems, and any leaves that do appear, green or do they go brown and wither? I'd have guessed it was getting too much water rather than not enough since the new buds keep dropping off.
