Japanese hydrangea vine (Schizophragma hydrangoides<\/i>) \u2018Moonlight\u2019 is a deciduous woody vine (USDA hardiness zone 5 to 8). It is closely related to climbing hydrangea vine (Hydrangea anomala<\/i> \u2018Petiolaris\u2019).<\/p>\n

This ornate climbing vine is valued for its silvery, silvery-green, heart-shaped foliage and large, flat-topped, lace cap hydrangea-like clusters (8-10 inches across) of creamy white flowers. Initially, it starts out\u00a0slowly, but will cover a 5 square foot area on a wall and puts on a fabulous\u00a0flowering show after 5 years.<\/p>\n

The 8-10 inch wide creamy -white panicled blooms are comprised of numerous fertile florets surrounded by sterile outer flowers that each have\u00a0only one spade-shaped petal.\u00a0They appear in late June into July in Tennessee bloom for 6 to 8 weeks.\u00a0Flowers are lightly fragrant up close.\u00a0Leaves measure 3-5 inches across with good yellow fall color.<\/p>\n

This woody grows against a wall, fence, or large tree. Fine adhesive\u00a0rootlets emerge from young stems and attach to the mortar or brick surface. Reddish-brown stems provide a little winter\u00a0interest. The silver-green leaves have long petioles with deep-green veining.<\/p>\n

Japanese hydrangea vine is planted in part sun to partial shade for best flowering and foliage. Grow it in rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil. Fertilize lightly in early spring, but do not over stimulate. Prune in late winter to early spring to remove any winter injured stems and to contain growth. A single plant will eventually grow 20 to 30 feet or more wide. Space multiple plants 6-9 feet apart along any long\u00a0wall to be covered. Insect or disease problems are rare.<\/p>\n

Vine growth rate<\/span>: over the first two years growth rate\u00a0is\u00a0slow, but gains speed in subsequent years. Plants begins blooming within 3 years which is a lot better that hydrangea vine. It is not as pH sensitive as hydrangea vine.<\/p>\n
