Default Clematis newbie question

The message m
from Vacutone contains these words:

This question may sound naive but I can't find this information in three
clematis books!


Am I right n assuming that new type 2 (slight prune) clematis plants
will not
reach anything like their full size in the first year after planting
but will
get bigger over successive years?


Naturally.

I have three plants, I think they were 2 years old when bought & planted
early this year around the time of coming into growth, and they are
all half
the size now that is stated. So I hope this is in fact- normal.


I have a clematis which had one of its stems around two inches in diameter.

Have patience. You'll soon be cutting it back...
