Usual questions is it in the ground or a pot given how dry your spring has been has it been kept well watered? If you could add a photo to your question it would be great.

Hello moon grower thank you for answering it is in a pot but I have kept it well watered maybe I should repot thank you

If it is in a pot is this in shade as Clematis roots do not like to be baked. If the plant i already stressed the last thing you need to do is repot. Please put up a photo it will give so much info...
