36+ Clematis Leaves Turning Brown And Crispy. Remove entire brown leaves (they will not turn green again) or the effected portion with a pair of sharp scissors or pruning shears. Depending on the cultivar, clematis is hardy in u.s.
Planting ideas great garden combo:
If left unpruned, clematis can turn into a mass of tangled stems with bare base and flowers well above eye level. They ball up and get brown around the edges much the way peonies do. Clematis wilt is a fungus disease ( ascochyta clematidina ) that is also sometimes referred to as clematis leaf and stem spot. Likewise, the flowers are somewhat more hidden within the leaves than would be optimal.
