Schyzophragma hydrangeoides
This deciduous climber makes an attractive covering for a wall or the trunk of a tall tree. Elegant creamy white flowers appear in summer. As it grows it will attach itself to its support by aerial roots.

Part Shade / Sun Use
Ideal against a wall, or against a tree in the shade or in the sun (it will bloom more in a sunny exposure).
Planting
In acid, non-chalky soil. Dig a hole three times the size of the root ball. Remove the plant from its container and thoroughly soak the root ball. Half-fill the hole with a mixture of 2/3 acid compost and 1/3 garden soil enriched with manure. Place the plant (not too deeply) in the hole and continue filling around the root ball. Water well after planting.
Maintenance
Add a specialised fertiliser during the spring. At the end of the winter, prune limbs that flowered the previous season. Water frequently while plants are blooming.
