Fun facts
- It was named after Père Armand David, the French missionary and naturalist who also introduced the giant panda to Western science.
- Its flowers open in late winter to early spring, often while frost is still around, and the scent can carry across a whole garden.
- It is one of the few evergreen clematis, with leaves up to 15 cm long that take on bronze tints in cold weather.
- Like Clematis montana it is a pruning group 1 plant, needing little more than a light tidy after flowering.
