I planted Barbara Harrington almost a month ago on the south end of the house where several other clems are located including EV, Mrs Chummie, and Mrs. N. Thompson. Barbara is one of the good SSV clems with a beautiful root system and grew about 2 ft and has buds at the top. The last few days she has been wilting, whereas the clem next to her has not.
My question is should I cut the entire stem off, or just the leaves? There is one more stem about 2 inches long out of the ground with 2 leaves, so I don't think the plant is dead. With our horrible heat wave, I've been watering more than usual. Do you think I've overwatered, or does BH have problems in full Fla. sun?
I figured this would happen sooner or later, as I've had a lot of beginner's luck with a lot of clems. I have to learn to take the bad with the good. Just how frequently should I be watering with this unusually hot weather? We've had NO rain.
