Clematis Wilt (Piilu)

I bought a piilu from B and Q, it was in the ground for oh, about a week, before everything turned black and wilted. I cut it down to the ground and as its planted deeper than the pot I bought it in I was hoping it would come back... But it's been a month and there's still no sign of life.

Am I being impatient, does anyone know if it will come back soon? Will I wait until next year before writing it off? Thanks...

you should see some new growth within the next couple of weeks if nothing by September you should start again.
