Evergreen Clematis
Clematis armandii 'Appleblossom'
- Blush pink and white flowers with a delightful almond scent, nestling amongst mid-green leaves which emerge with a bronze tint
- Flowers in spring from March to April
- Ideal for growing in sunny or partially shaded beds and borders, or in large containers. Ideal for a sunny, west- or south-facing site, trained on a wall, fence, pergola or arch
- Pruning group 1 - 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
- A vigorous evergreen climber which is easy to grow and care for
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
