An Evergreen Showstopper with Fragrant Spring Blooms

The Clematis armandii is a magnificent, vigorous climber that offers year-round value in the garden. Unlike most clematis that lose their leaves in winter, this variety boasts large, leathery deep green leaves that remain on the plant all year, making it an excellent choice for screening and privacy. In spring, the new foliage emerges with a striking bronze tint, adding extra depth and colour to your walls or fences.

The real spectacle arrives in April, when the plant is smothered in an abundance of star-shaped, pure white flowers. These blooms are not only beautiful but also carry a delightful sweet scent (often described as almond or vanilla), filling the spring air with fragrance. Being a fast grower, it is perfect for quickly covering large structures.

Key features:

• Fragrant, star-shaped white flowers in April

• Evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and screening

• New leaves emerge with a beautiful bronze tint

• Vigorous and fast-growing habit

• Thrives in sunny, sheltered positions

Perfect for:

• Covering arches, pergolas, and large walls quickly

• Creating privacy screens due to its evergreen nature

• Planting near doorways or paths to enjoy the scent

• Adding structure to the garden in winter

At The Rose Press Garden, we love Clematis armandii for its boldness. It is one of the few climbers that looks just as good in January as it does in April, providing a lush green backdrop long before the flowers appear.
