I recently purchased a clematis that I planted among my other clematis-not too close, sunny spot with mulched roots, the others are doing fine but this plant looks very wilted- is this normal? I just planted it three days ago and watered it thoroughly. What else should I do?

Did you plant it in the heat of the day? It may need a few more days to get established. I actually put an umbrella in the ground next to a new seedling while it adjusts. LOL. I imagine it will do fine. Give it a few more days.

First if you have a large amount of mulch on top of the root structure remove it, Plants need as much air to the roots as they do water. Wilty leaves are not uncomon during transplantation, should perk up in a week or so. DONT over water, check the soil, if it feels dry give it a little drink, if its wet leave it alone you could drown it. good luck.

Maybe it was not a healthy specimen?
