An attractive deciduous climber producing slightly fragrant, creamy- white flower heads up to 25cm across, that resemble lacecap hydrangeas, in mid-summer.
Japanese hydrangea vine is ideal for covering a large wall or fence or for training through a robust tree. Initially it is slow to establish, but it copes well with most conditions except extremely alkaline soil. As it grows H. hydrangeoides will attach itself to its support by aerial roots.

To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Plant in moist, fertile soil and do not allow the soil to dry out while the plant is getting established. Young plants need tying in until they self-cling. This hydrangea flowers on the previous season’s wood, so if you need to prune it back, do so in late autumn or early spring, but be warned that drastic pruning may restrict flowering the following year.
