Renowned for its early-season allure, Clematis 'Little White Charm' is a robust, evergreen climber characterised by lush, dark green foliage divided into three leathery, glossy leaflets.

Throughout early to mid-spring, this variety impresses with large clusters of single, intensely fragrant, star-shaped cream and white flowers, distinguished as having the most potent perfume among the armandi species.

An enchanting addition to any garden, this clematis infuses the air with its delightful fragrance while showcasing its charming floral clusters.

How to care for Clematis armandi Little White Charm:

To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.


Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of of pebbles.

No routine pruning is necessary. If the spread of the plant needs to be restricted prune immediately after flowering, cutting back overlong shoots to healthy buds.

Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
