This large evergreen clematis produces a large leathery dark green foliage, and produces prodigious clusters of vanilla scented white blossom in late spring. This large climber will eventually grow to 10m tall x 5m wide - so allow plenty of space - where it can be tied in trellis or grown up existing plants.
Clematis armandii - Cultivation Notes

Tie young shoots into support and allow plenty of space for growth as this Clematis grows fast and needs plenty of room. Mulch in winter avoiding base of stem.
