Why Choose Clematis armandii ‘Snowdrift’ for Your Garden?
Clematis armandii ‘Snowdrift’ is a vigorous evergreen climber that produces a breathtaking cascade of pure white flowers in early spring. The blooms appear in abundance, creating a striking snowy effect against its glossy dark green foliage — hence the name.
Lightly fragrant and beautifully fresh in appearance, ‘Snowdrift’ is perfect for brightening walls, fences, and pergolas just as the garden begins to wake up. Unlike deciduous clematis, it provides year-round structure and screening thanks to its long, leathery evergreen leaves.
It’s an excellent choice for gardeners wanting strong coverage combined with an elegant early-season floral display.
Ideal for:
Covering large walls, fences, pergolas, and arches
Creating evergreen privacy screening
Adding early spring flowers to sheltered gardens
Softening buildings with year-round foliage
