A fantastic, evergreen, twining climber, with handsome, long, lance-shaped leaves that will cloak a wall or fence within a few seasons.
In early spring, Clematis armandi is smothered in fragrant, star-shaped, creamy-white flowers and the new leaves are bronze-tinted.
Plant near a doorway to enjoy the scent, and give it plenty of room to spread out.
- Position: full sun
- Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast
- Flowering period: March to April
- Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection)
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles.
No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.
Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
