Leaf size: approximately 4 inches.

Clematis armandii requires watering every 7–10 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Evergreen Clematis thrives in full sun to part shade light conditions. The optimal light range is 2000–5000 lux. Avoid placing Evergreen Clematis in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.
