Product Description
Clematis armandii Apple Blossom is one of the most popular evergreen climbers. It produces an abundance of pink buds with deeper pink flushes, which open out to four or five petalled pale pink flowers in spring. The flowers will gradually fade from pale- pink to white as they mature. These flowers are surrounded by plenty of handsome, long, lance-shaped waxy leaves which will provide a year round protective screen against stark walls or fences. We would recommend planting this climber where you can enjoy the gorgeous almond scent, for example by a doorway or seating area. This low maintenance climber requires a sheltered spot away from the worst winter frosts and minimal pruning after flowering. Flowering from late winter through to early spring. Tall 7cm pot plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Clematis are vigorous climbing plants that reach various heights and spreads. Its best to prune back to keep control over the growth annually and initially they should be tied in to help direct the new growth. Apply a liquid fertiliser each yearduring the growing season, and water regularly during hot periods.Clematis can be planted October-May in areas with good drainage and plenty of sun is preferable. Soak in a bucket of water prior to planting and plant deep enough to allow plenty of room for root development. The roots of clematis like to be keptcool so it is a good idea to plant amongst low growing shrubs or bedding plants. If planting in containers, ensure the pot is large enough to allow the roots to expand/develop, as limitation of roots will certainly impede future success.
