    The first year; water, water, water! For your new clematis, working in lots of compost and some granular organic fertilizer.
    Established Plants. Fertilize your established clematis once per month throughout the growing season, starting in early to mid-spring and continuing into midsummer.

    This could be something as simple as watering spots but could also be something more serious.

    This is, actually, a simple nutrient deficiency. This is more than likely in need of magnesium and calcium. Dolomitic lime will correct this, but you should fertilize once per year for the best results, as well, although it isn't completely necessary.

    This time of year, fungal infections are very common. I recommend adding dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur to the soil. This will cure any infections, along with restoring the soil to a more suitable conditions.

    This sounds like Phymatotrichopsis and Phytophthora root rots may cause clematis to wilt and decline. You may be able to see some of the rotten plant tissue near the soil line. To help the plant recover, Penn State Extension recommends removing infected leaves as they appear and pruning to increase air circulation. Only plant clematis in well draining soil. Water it regularly to keep the soil moist, but do not let it become waterlogged or flooded. Keep water off the leaves, because wet leaves can encourage fungal development.

    Make sure the feet are in the shade and the head is in the sun. Check moisture levels of soil.

    Make sure they get a general feed in early spring.

    On a personal note, I had a summer blooming Clematis that was very sparse. I cut it to the ground and 2 years later a beautiful flush of flowers. A very hard prune may be an option for you.

    Clematis have a very strong root system and will most likely grow back from the roots with some time.

    You can add some protective fencing around the plant to keep critters from snacking on your plant.
