Answers:
Hard to tell. In Zone 5, clematis usually doesn't grow all that much in the first year. Then in the second year it will grow a lot. Last year I bought a new one and this year it is about a foot tall. Two years ago I planted one and I now cannot find a trellis big enough for it.

Hydrangea is a little more complicated. It really depends on what kind. Years ago I bought one and it has never really done that well. There are now different ones that will come back better.

Basically, don't expect one of those magazine gardens for a few years. When you first start planting it takes some seasons for it to look filled in.

What color is the clematis? Lately, there have been some really funky ones!
