Hello, I called yesterday to explain my situation. I received my order of 2 clematis plants, but I am very disappointed with clematis ref 681364 as it only measures 20cm (8in), whereas the catalogue stated 40/50cm (16/20in). Considering the price, I expected better quality. I was told that someone would send me an email so that I could send a photo, but I haven't received anything yet. I am unable to log in even with a new password. How can I send a photo? Thank you for your response. Have a good day.

Description

'Little White Charm' is a armandii clematis with uncommon characteristics in the genus Clematis: Its beautiful shiny evergreen foliage easily covers large supports such as arches, pergolas, and arbors. And its multiple small white flowers welcome spring early by perfuming the surroundings. Moderately hardy, it prefers mild to slightly cool climates.

Belonging to the Renonculaceae family and originating from China, this Armand clematis likes fertile, neutral, and rather moist soil. It appreciates a sunny or partially shaded exposure, with its base imperatively in the shade. It can withstand cold temperatures, but not temperatures below -10°C (14°F). It will thrive better if protected from wind and late frosts. However, it does not like stagnant moisture, so the substrate must be well-draining and watering should be moderate (during its establishment).

It is a perennial that produces long stems, reaching up to 4m (13ft) long. These stems bear beautiful evergreen leaves, long (often measuring at least 10cm (4in)), lanceolate, and with distinct veins. They form a beautiful dark green mantle that welcomes early and abundant flowering. From March onwards, numerous small cruciate white flowers, barely 5cm (2in) in diameter and grouped in panicles, reveal slightly greenish prominent stamens. The slender and airy appearance is emphasized by the tapered tepals. The overall delicate appearance gives off a fragrance reminiscent of orange blossom with hints of vanilla.

The flowering of 'Little White Charm' is a boon for year-round greening of passage supports, such as arches at the entrances of the house. It brings glossy foliage with deep tones and perfumes the entrances from spring. It also colonizes privet hedges, unsightly exposed fences, and can crown paths between different areas of the garden. It is a breath of fresh air with sweet accents.

Planting and care

The 'White little Charm' Armandii Clematis is planted in spring or autumn, at a depth of 5 cm (2in), with the root ball placed diagonally or even lying on the ground. The head in the sun (or partial shade) and the foot in the shade. You can place a flat tile in front of the stump or plant ground cover plants. It appreciates rather moist but not waterlogged, deep, well-worked, drained, and rich soils. Cover the foot with a small mound of soil to encourage the emergence of new shoots. After planting, prune the shoots to 30 cm (12in) from the base, above a pair of buds. Train them loosely to help the plant cling on its own later. Maintenance pruning should then be done after flowering (in summer) to remove faded flowers and shorten the flowering shoots slightly. Some shoots can be pruned more severely, but not necessarily every year. This will encourage the emergence of new shoots, but it will reduce flowering, as the flowers appear on the previous year's wood. Watch out for pests, such as aphids and gastropods.
