Answers:
Don't expect too much from newly transplanted plants the first year. Clematis may grow 2-4' the first year, but you will not have many stems. This plant just will not have much presence until it can establish a root system. Look for substantial growth the second and third years.
Again, your hydrangea will suffer from plant shock the first year. It is difficult estimating the growth you will get on your Hydrangea without knowing what kind of Hydrangea you planted. My Unique Hydrangea grew less than 6" the first year. An Annabelle type Hydrangea might give you a little more growth the first year, but it will not be substantial.
P.S. Don't fertilize the first year. Your plant needs to establish a root system, not lush top growth. Wait unitl the second year to fertilize.
it all depends on amount of water, and other weather condictions, and use of fertizer. 12-18 inch's average.
