I have a very poorly honeysuckle and I don't know whether to bin it. It has grey mildew on the leaves, and pretty much all the bottom section has died off. Reading up about it, it looks like this is a symptom of the roots being too dry, but we have damp heavy clay soil and have had rain most days since it's been put in. I have been watering it too.
Is it likely to pull through? It's on the back of a board fence (not an overlapping panel one) that gets a lot of wind, could this be affecting it?
If it cops it, any recommendations for an evergreen climber (I'd love a self clinging one ideally) for an exposed coastal location?
