Japanese Hydrangea Vine

Plant Type:

VINES

Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Shiro Fuka Fukurin Fu' - A beautiful variegated form of Japanese Hydrangea Vine. Each green to gray-green leaf sports an irregular margin, cream in spring maturing white in summer. This will make a strong, bright statement wending its way up a tree. White lace cap flowers decorate the vine in spring. These may or may not pick up some pink tones as they age. We expect that due to its variegated tissue this worthy vine may be less vigorous (which for a vine can be a plus!) Please scroll down for cultural information in the Genus Overview.

Genus Overview: Schizophragma

Common Name: Japanese Hydrangea Vine

The beautiful Japanese Hydrangea Vine comes in several forms and colors. It is self-clinging holding close and tight to the framework upon which it is allowed to climb or clamor; by comparison the better known Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris, Climbing Hydrangea, climbs over and over itself creating a thick, dense woody framework, up to 3 feet thick - decidedly not flat! The large, flattened 8” to 10” diameter inflorescences decorate the attractive vine in late spring or early summer in zone 5b – later than Climbing Hydrangea blooms. Leaves are finely serrated, obovate and coming to a point, almost heart-shaped. Older rich brown wood does exfoliate. As with the Climbing Hydrangea with which the range of Schizophragma overlaps, it will service your needs better if planted in fertile moisture-retentive soil. Better flowering will occur if planted in more sun. All of the following are offered as cutting grown plants.
