judd viburnum transplant issue

I planted a Judd Viburnum last fall in 2009 in my yard (bought from a landscaper) which was about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I live in the state of Illinois & have clay soil. The viburnum is planted in a sunny location. During planting, I added some garden soil in the original soil dig from the hole. Since May of this year, I feeded it with one table spoon of Miracle Gro in one gallon of water. I did it about 2 times after one month interval. Last year when I planted it had bunch of leaves .This year only 2 leaves came out & died after couple days. Since summer, I have been watering it 2 times in a week, remained moist most of the time. Last month when I scratched one or two of the branches with my nail, they were green. Yesterday I checked again and now most of the braches are brown. Do you think it will come back next spring or the shrub is dead. Thanks.

Dead. Sometimes plants just don't break dormancy. Feeding a dormant plant was probably a mistake.
