Good early morning. I received your question. I do not believe you are dealing with a clematis. Perhaps that is why you are having some issues with it? Clematis don’t generally produce seed pods. I think that the picture you sent us is an American Wisteria (Wisteria frutescenes). What, exactly, do you want to do with this plant?  I will be glad to help you.  

Interesting!!  The mother plant (labeled clematis) was purchased as a thank you gift.  I was then given a seed pod.  No idea they grew well in Minnesota.   Would it help to try transplant them because wisteria is going to get much bigger and need more room like a trumpeter vine, right?  Will they transplant well?  I have a big yard and could move them someplace else.  Depending on sun issues.  Back yard is sunny and front is mostly shade.  I had for years two  beautiful climbing hydrageas over a front door arch but a couple of years ago a bad winter caused severe die back and one side of the arch never came back and the other has been struggling to do much since.  I kept the thick vines on the arch for decor.  They were so rustic looking but last year they were so dry, they broke off and now the arch is vacant.  That faces west/north but is a lot of shade.  Two could go on either side of the arch.  Or if more sun is needed, I would have a spot for one opposite my trumpter vinein the back yard.  I read that they bloom on woody branches.  They really don't have woody branches..just keep growing vines that have no place to go at the back of the garage.   The gifted mother plant bloomed right away after planting....wondering how it had any woody branches????  So I guess, I just need some suggestions since I have something I wasn't planning on which now makes this an interesting mystery and challenge.

Thanks for the response.  Before we go further down this path, I want to be sure that I was correct in my initial assessment.  Could you send us another two or three pictures of this plant, taken either at a distance or close up?  Be sure that you distinguish between a plant from the seed pod and the plant you were given. What exactly are we looking at?  The plant you were given or the plant from the seed pod? It almost sounds as if we are dealing with tow different plants.  Once I am fully confident in my plant identification, I will be able to answer your questions.  In this regard, you mentioned that the "mother plant", possibly clematis or something else bloomed.  The best way to get a positive ID is to have a picture of these blooms.  Is that possible?  And just so I understand, the seed pod you received may or may not have come from a clematis? Correct?  And the picture you send me came from this seed pod?  Correct.

I apologize for all my questions.  However in order to provide you with the bast advice that I can, I need this information.  Sorry for whatever inconvenience that this might impose.
 

Thanks for sending the pictures. All of the plants shown in what you just sent me, as well as the original picture, are American Wisteria (Wisteria frutescenes). Wisteria needs to have phosphate in the soil in order to bloom. A good source of phosphate is bone meal. It releases phosphate over a period of time. Transplanting wisteria can either be done in the fall (first part of September) or early spring. I think that the best success would be a fall transplant. After transplanting keep the plant very well-watered. Here are some other sites on wisteria:
