A couple of days ago, my sister accidentally dug up some clematis plants thinking they were bulbs, I live in Chicago and it has been very cold and rainy, the plants have clumps of soil still attached and look "dead" (but I think they looked that way before pulling). Can I still save them?
Can I transplant clematis that was accidentally dug up?
Yes,it is amazing with plants.They can look dead,but make sure they are wet,replant them.You could also get some food for them.They will come back to life next year.
Reply:Yes you can just put them back in your garden and cover the roots with soil and water it. The reason it looks like its dead is because winter is coming. It is a perennial by next year it will grow back i have one in my garden for 2 years.
Reply:I agree with big teddy that the plant can be transplanted now. I wouldn't advise using a fertilizer for it is to late in the year to feed. You can use a root booster/stimulator ( not a rooting hormone) so that the plant will take root more quickly.
Reply:I agree with previous answers but I would also put some mulch on top after planting to give it a little added protection until it settles in again.
