Snowdrift Clematis (Evergreen)
Clematis armandii ‘Snowdrift’
1 gallon pot
 
A vigorous and elegant evergreen climber, Snowdrift clematis is prized for its glossy, dark green foliage and masses of fragrant white flowers in early spring. The blooms appear in abundance, covering the vine in a soft, snow-like display and filling the air with a sweet, vanilla-like scent. Its leathery, elongated leaves provide year-round structure and a refined, polished look.
 
This variety grows quickly and is ideal for covering fences, trellises, arbors, or walls where it can be appreciated both visually and for its fragrance. It performs best in well-drained soil with its roots kept cool and shaded, while the top growth enjoys sun. In cooler areas, it benefits from a sheltered location to protect from harsh winter winds.
