I Planted The Clematis Armandii About A Month Ago . Everything As Been
Ok But The Leaves And Growth Are Dying Now . Can Armandiis Suffer From
The Dreaded Clematis Wilt .

Can't help, but am interested because my armandii also appears dead.

Isn't it just that they're on the tender side, so if they're going to be
affected by cold, the end of winter is when you'd expect to see the
effects?

Clematis armandii is like other "Evergreen" clematis not truly evergreen but
winter green i.e. it changes its leaves but not during winter and they often
go through a dead looking phase so it may just be this, on the other hand
they are prone to various root rots, and yes they can get wilt but it is not
common.

I was thinking it was a cold effect because one branch of mine seems
very dead - ie no leaves, but also no green shoots either, whereas the
other branch is in full flower.
