When a clematis is new ( and roots are small), it will be slow to grow. It definitely follows the sleep, creep , leap rule. Likely , you will only see one or two shoots.
Give it some good quality compost and sprinkle some epsom salts to encourage root growth.

Sleep, creep, leap, I love that! I planted two very small plants in the fall. One is showing a tiny bit of green now, but the other....nothing. I'm afraid it's dead. Will update and thank you for the picture and encouragement!
