Clematis armandii “Snowdrift,” above, has been one of the most prominent flowering clmbing plants in many gardens in the past few weeks. This strong-grow-ing plant smothers itself with pure white flowers within a few years of
establishment. It is also notable for its leaves, which have three leaflets. These prominently veined, glossy, dark green leaves have an attraction of their own and always remind me of Viburnum davidii. This is a plant which needs to be
given scope for development if at all possible, and should not be confined to a small area. It will tolerate a more open position than many other clematis, and seems to be fairly hardy. Even the flowers have a firm structure.
