Keep it watered and mulch the roots. Clematis likes the sun, but it's roots want shade.

Reply:make sure the base of the plant is covered with mulch, this protects the plant during summer, spring and winter. I'd make sure it is watered a least twice a week, using Miracle Grow plant food every second week.
Reply:Piling mulch around the base of the clematis will keep the roots cool. This is very impotant on hot sunny days. Water often, and the mulch will help to keep the moisture in.
