Josephine clematis - should I dig it up? #879419

Asked July 30, 2024, 12:54 PM EDT

Hi, my Josephine clematis has stopped growing the past few years. The leaves have a speckled yellow green splotchy pattern on them now, and don’t look like they used to. The blooms have stopped, and the vine turns brown quickly.
