Clematis armandii ‘Apple Blossom’ — Evergreen & fragrant clematis
🌸 Fragrant spring flowering • 🌿 Evergreen foliage • 🏙️ Ideal for urban walls & pergolas • ☀️ Sun / Partial shade • ❄️ Hardy to −20 °C
Clematis armandii ‘Apple Blossom’ is an elegant and evergreen climbing clematis, famous for its abundant and delicately fragrant spring flowering. Its pink buds open into white star-shaped flowers with a creamy center, reminiscent of apple blossoms.
Thanks to its shiny dark green foliage and fast growth, it forms a dense and decorative green screen all year round. Ideal for dressing walls, pergolas, or balcony railings, it brings a romantic, bright, and refined touch to your urban space.
Exposure & location
- Exposure: full sun or bright partial shade, preferably sheltered from cold winds.
- Culture: in open ground or large container on south or west-facing balcony or terrace.
- Support: trellis, pergola, fence, or wall to guide its climbing growth.
- Tip: roots in the shade, head in the sun — the golden rule for clematis for optimal development.
Its evergreen foliage creates a decorative green curtain even in winter, perfect for preserving balcony privacy.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular in spring and summer, keeping the soil fresh but well-drained.
- Mulching: recommended to maintain moisture and protect roots from heat.
- Pruning: light after flowering to contain growth and encourage branching.
- Fertilizer: potassium-rich in spring to stimulate flowering.
A groundcover perennial (hosta, heuchera, or geranium) planted at the base helps keep roots cool while enhancing the clematis base.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
- With a fragrant climbing rose for a romantic and harmonious duo.
- With other colorful clematis (like ‘Niobe’ or ‘Miss Bateman’) to extend the flowering period.
- With spring shrubs (forsythia, lilac, camellia) for a striking seasonal effect.
- In a pot, with trailing plants (verbena, lobelia) for a flowering and fragrant wall.
On a pergola or railing, it creates a screen of pale pink flowers with a delicate fragrance from late winter.
Verdeia tips
- Guide young stems from planting for even coverage of the support.
- Prefers slightly acidic, humus-rich, and well-drained soils.
- Avoid excess water in winter to protect roots.
- Place near a relaxation corner: its early and fragrant flowering creates a soothing atmosphere.
Clematis ‘Apple Blossom’ pairs beautifully with natural materials — light wood, stone, or terracotta — for a chic and green Mediterranean style.
