Clematis armandii is supplied as a healthy, nursery-grown perennial climbing plant, carefully cultivated to ensure robust establishment and long-term performance in UK gardens. Each plant is grown using professional horticultural methods in nutrient-rich, well-draining compost, providing excellent root support and consistent growth.
Unlike deciduous clematis, Clematis armandii is evergreen, retaining its large, leathery, deep green leaves throughout the year. This characteristic makes it ideal for providing instant privacy, screening unsightly structures, or adding winter structure and greenery to borders, fences, and walls. New growth emerges in spring with a bronze tint, creating a dynamic seasonal display even before the flowers appear.
Clematis armandii is a vigorous climber, capable of reaching 6 to 8 metres in height when fully established, with a spread of around 2 to 3 metres. Its flexible, woody stems allow it to climb and twine easily over arches, pergolas, walls, fences, or through larger shrubs.
The evergreen foliage provides continuous coverage and structure, making it ideal for creating privacy screens or green backdrops in gardens. In spring, the abundant star-shaped flowers appear along the stems, adding both colour and scent to the vertical space.
Its rapid growth ensures large structures are covered quickly, while the evergreen leaves maintain visual interest throughout winter. Clematis armandii is perfect for gardens where a bold, year-round presence, fragrant spring blooms, and low-maintenance vertical coverage are desired.
