Japanese hydrangea vine, Schizophragma hydrangeoides ‘Roseum’, is a deciduous climber bearing fragrant, white flowers similar to lacecap hydrangeas (hence its common name). It’s initially slow-growing but quickly catches up once established. Self-clinging, it’s perfect for training against a wall or fence.
Grow Schizophragma hydrangeoides ‘Roseum’ in moist but well-drained neutral to acidic soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut back after flowering to maintain its shape.
