CARE
Care Thrives in humus-rich, moist soils. Provide support such as a trellis, arbor, or large tree for self-adhering stems to climb.

Prune annually to control size.
HISTORY
Lore The genus name Schizophragma comes from the Greek for "divided wall", referring to the split walls of its fruiting structure. Schizophragma species are in the Hydrangea family. While their flower showy flower heads somewhat resemble that of lacecap hydrangeas which are superficially close to the climbing hydrangeas, the flowers of Schizophragma can offer a greater presence to the shaded garden.
