Question from
Bruce Gardner
We planted this climber before going on holiday last week and on our return the shoots appear to have gone very dark and the leaves are shrivelling. We have panted it against a wall with sun in the morning and shade from early afternoon, the plant is in decent but clay soil with compost. Not sure if it just needs water or if it has been affected by the frost?
