Beautiful plant, good delivery, waited patiently for 3 weeks to be planted at the right temperature. It was beautiful for 3 weeks and then, in just 3 days, it dried up completely... Is it salvageable?...

Description
Clematis Morning Star is a recent variety of clematis with a particularly bright flowering and a modest size, well suited to small spaces and pot cultivation. It displays large single star-shaped flowers in white-pink delicately edged with deeper lilac-purple at the beginning of summer. The flowers produced throughout the summer will be smaller, but adorned with the same brilliance. Combine this lovely climbing plant with blue or pink varieties to form very romantic garlands in the bushes, on a trellis, a fence... It will also be stunning in hanging baskets!
Clematis belong to the renunculaceae family. They are found in both hemispheres, particularly in Europe, the Himalayas, China, Australia and North and Central America. 'Morning Star', introduced in the Netherlands in 2007, is a perennial and hardy, woody climbing plant that quickly reaches 2m (7ft) high, with a spread of 1m (3ft).
It belongs to the Patens group of clematis, which bloom in spring on old wood, and then on new shoots in summer. This variety bears star-shaped flowers 14cm (6in) in diameter on the previous year's branches in May-June. They then bloom from July to September on spring shoots, in 10cm (4in) diameter stars. They are solitary or grouped in clusters and produced abundantly. They are upright with 4 to 6 thick, bicoloured petals. The centre of each petal is white, tinged with pale lilac, while the edges have a wide zone of lilac finely edged with rose-purple. The centre of the corolla has a cluster of light yellow stamens. The moderate-sized, fairly dark olive green leaves have oval, smooth leaflets, of the patens type. This clematis clings to the support or host plant through petioles transformed into tendrils.
Clematis like to have their feet in the shade and their heads in the sun. Plant clematis alongside your climbing roses or ramblers to prolong the flowering of your walls and pergolas until the end of summer. Climbing honeysuckles are also good companions, their light and often fragrant flowers complement the large scentless star-shaped clematis flowers perfectly as will morning glory and sweet peas, to form continuously blooming garlands. Clematis are rich in diversity, with varieties available in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Take advantage of their easy cultivation to give your garden a romantic and bohemian touch. 'Morning Star' loves to weave through bushes and thrives in a large pot.

Planting and care
In a sunny location, shade the base of your plant with a ground cover or a perennial geranium. Clematis plants like to have their roots kept cool. Plant your clematis by covering the root ball with 5 to 10cm (2 to 4in) of soil, in soil that has been worked to a depth of 20cm (8in) and enriched with good compost. Water generously and regularly during the first few weeks. Clematis plants cling on their own thanks to their tendrils. To promote their growth, provide them with a trellis or help them dress the trunk of a tree by placing a wire mesh. Clematis plants also enjoy growing freely on neighbouring plants. You can prune it in June, to a height of 75cm (30in) if necessary.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
