More about this plant
A Japanese hydrangea vine that climbs to 40 to 50 feet with a spread of 6 to 9 feet, grows quickly and produces flowers readily, unlike traditional hydrangea vines that are slow to bloom. Elegant creamy white blooms with a light fragrance appear in abundance through early, mid and late summer, and the green deciduous foliage emerges purple. Proven Winners places it in part shade to shade in moist, well drained soil with average water, and says pruning is usually not needed though it may be trimmed in late winter. It suits woodland gardens, north facing walls, screening, containers and focal points.
- Full Shade
- Grows to 50 ft tall and 9 ft wide
- Blooms in summer
