Default Clematis is really puzzling me...

I was always recommended to plant them slightly deeper than they were
in the pot. You may find that the top grows away vigorously and then
suddenly keels over. It's a not uncommon problem with newly planted
clematis's (clemati?), and is called 'clematis wilt'


Since we're on clematis - I have one which I grew from seed marked
Clematis integrifolia. But it's grown far beyond that and taken up
residence at the top of a rowan, so no photos. It flowers early, earlier
than alpina, and it has leaves at that stage, so I guess it's probably
evergreen (I don't tend to look at it in winter). Flowers are white,
slightly dropping, sort of bell shape, 4 petals. My best guess is that
it's a non-freckled cirrhosa. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Sounds the most likely as that one is easy from seed.
