can anyone help? I have several clematis of varying types in my garden. Some are on a north facing fence others on east and west facing fences. The problem is that they all sprout healthily in the spring but some (mainly on the north facing fence) start withering at a height of about 2/3 feet and the leaves go brown. However they still grow on and produce healthy leaves and flowers at about 4/5 feet high. Is there any way to avoid this as I'd like the plants to look healthy from ground level
