Clematis Armandii , also known as ‘Armand Clematis’ is a vigorous evergreen climber.  The glossy, long mid-green leaves which emerge with bronze tones when young, are then smothered in sweetly scented, single star shaped flowers which make this Clematis a perfect climber for the pergola or as a covering for walls and fences.   It is a superb pollinator providing early nectar for the bees and other beneficial insects for the garden.
