So I found a Clematis buried behind some giant cedars against my neighboring building...it had one little vine with three leaves on it. I tried to 'rescue' it from the extreme dark and be very careful transplanting it bu the little vine was very brittle and snapped off so now it has no leaves...

Is there any hope it will come back?

I planted the remaining root ball in a semi-shade area (that is not total darkness like the old spot) and watered it well but should I expect any growth? Its been behind the cedars and building for....who knows how long...well over 5 years for sure. And really looked like it was on its last leggs... I just bought the property and am still finding surprises...the last owner was NOT a gardener (he mowed the former gardens except for day lilies...) but the owners before him really were!
If we had no holes in our leaves we would have no butterflies!
