Description

Clematis 'Acropolis' is a striking deciduous climber celebrated for its robust growth and stunning, fragrant flowers. The blooms, which showcase a captivating deep violet-blue hue adorned with a distinctive white central bar, emerge from early summer and continue to grace the garden until early autumn. This variety is particularly cherished for its profusion of long-lasting blossoms and enchanting scent, making it an exceptional choice for enhancing garden structures.

Reaching heights of up to 4 meters (13 feet) and spreading 2 meters (6.5 feet), 'Acropolis' exhibits a vigorous, twining growth habit complemented by lush, glossy dark green foliage. The large, star-shaped flowers, measuring 10 to 15 centimeters across, create a dramatic display against the rich backdrop of its leaves. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this clematis flourishes best in sunny locations with cool roots, requiring well-drained, fertile soil that retains consistent moisture.

Ideal for training on various supports such as fences, pergolas, and trellises, 'Acropolis' not only enhances the visual appeal of any garden but also attracts beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies. For optimal growth and abundant flowering, it is recommended to prune the plant hard in late winter or early spring, following Group 3 pruning guidelines. This maintenance ensures that the clematis continues to thrive, providing a luxurious display of color and fragrance throughout the growing season.

How to Grow
Pot up clematis plants and grow them on until large enough to plant in their final positions. When planting clematis, choose a position in sun or semi-shade and plant the climber deeply in moist, fertile, well drained soil. Position the top of the rootball at a depth of 7.5cm (3") below soil level, to encourage new shoots to form from the base of the plant. Clematis dislike soils that are particularly wet or dry. Such soils can be improved by the addition of plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost. When growing clematis in patio containers use a soil based compost. Train Clematis armandii plants onto a suitable support such as trellis, wires or a large pergola.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info

When pruning Clematis armandii, remove any damaged or dead stems entirely before cutting back the remaining stems to a pair of healthy buds to maintain the plant within it's alloted space. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant in order to protect the roots and conserve soil moisture.
