Armand clematis (Clematis armandii) is an evergreen vine common in warm areas. This vigorous climber is covered in fragrant, white flowers in spring. There are a few care problems to consider before planting this vine.
Pruning
-
Clematis armandii has fragrant, white flowers.
Clematis armandii blooms on old wood, so prune it after flowering in late spring but before mid-July. Extensive pruning is often necessary to thin out the plant’s interior.
Tree Roots
-
Armand clematis doesn’t compete well with large tree roots. Avoid planting it in flowerbeds under trees.
Cold Hardiness
-
Hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones 7b through 9, C. armandii can’t withstand temperatures below 5 degrees F. Plants killed to the ground sometimes recover in spring if the crown has been protected.
Drought
-
Armand clematis needs moist, well-drained soil. The plant is not drought tolerant and requires supplemental watering during dry spells.
Slugs
-
Slugs chew on clematis, so keep the area around the vine clear of plant debris. If you find telltale slug holes, bait the slugs by putting a board on the ground near the plant. The slugs seek shelter from daytime heat under the board and you can pick and destroy them.
