I have a newly planted Photinia ( a couple of months ago) that was thriving, today I have noticed all the red leaves are brown and shrivelling. Next to it is a hydrangea that has been fine for a few years, and now again the leaves are shrivelling up with brown on the edges. The hydrangea has looked poorly for a few weeks. I am wondering if I need nematodes, which I have used a few years ago, in almost the same place in the border. But there are so many nematodes on the market I don’t know which one I need. They used to be just basic Nematodes. I can’t see anything in the earth. I have also spread some tea leaves around the plants a couple of weeks ago, could this be the cause? And watered regularly. Thanks all.

I'm no gardener but even before I saw your picture (or read APG's reply) I was thinking "frost, surely!"

Maggie -the buddleia should spring back and you need only prune off the dead shoots. If you have'nt pruned back the Hydrangea too hard buds should appear further down the stems or from the base -although as hydrangeas flower on last years growth you won't get any flowers from the growth at the base.
Plenty of good info here , but basically cut off all the dead / damaged leaves and it should recover no problem.
