Description An extremely rare selection of Japanese hydrangea vine chosen for foliage that nearly shimmers, its heart-shaped leaves highlighted with vivid splashes of creamy white. Often accented with white, lace-cap hydrangea-like blooms in summer, this self-clinging vine makes a dramatic statement by virtue of its foliage alone. Deciduous.
Bloom Time Summer
Deciduous/Evergreen Deciduous
Special Features Dramatic Foliage Color, Easy Care
Growth Rate Slow
Flower Attributes Showy Flowers
Landscape Use Espalier, Privacy Screen
Flower Color White
Foliage Color Variegated
Companion Plants Azalea (Azalea); Camellia (Camellia); Japanese Forest Grass (Hakonechloa); Rhododendron (Rhododendron); Astilbe (Astilbe)
Care Instructions Thrives in humus-rich, evenly moist soils. Provide support such as a trellis, arbor or large tree for self-adhering stems to climb. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Apply a general purpose fertilizer when new growth begins in spring.
History This fantastic and unusual plant was shared with Dan Hinkley from Gotemba Nursery in 2000, though he had first seen it and fell under its charms in 1995. "I think it's a sensational plant... great foliage all summer as well as a season of flowers. The vividness of the variegation is what I find extraordinary. There's nothing wishy-washy about it at all." - Daniel J. Hinkley
