I started a clematis from a bare root. It was a boxed one and had a shoot coming up. I planted it on a north side of a slatted fence. It has its roots shaded and gets some sun coming thru the slats. Yesterday I noticed that the first 8 inches of the shoot had gotten hard and wood like. Is this normal or is it drying up? The rest of the plant seems fine. It is green and seems to be growing nicely. I water it almost every day. I may have missed a day or so. We also are in near drought conditions here in NY. I don't know much about clematis and I'm wondering if my plant is dying.
