Culture Notes

This Japanese climbing hydrangea will grow well in light to deep shade with well-drained to sandy soil. It will tolerate full sun, but the lovely silver patterns on the leaves only show in shade and fade to green in the sun. Provide regular watering for the best growth and flowering. It will eventually become a large plant; give enough space to fully develop over the years. The vine is often slow to settle in and can take two to three years before growing vigorously. It is also slow to bloom, often taking five to seven years before producing its first flower. In deep shade flowering can take even longer. Be patient and enjoy the lovely foliage of this beautiful vine.
