Hydrangea fauriei 'Angel Wings'
Japanese hydrangea vine (syn Schizophragma fauriei Angel Wings)
Closely related to a hydrangea, this self-clinging deciduous climber puts on a great show in midsummer, when its leafy stems are topped with showy lacecap-like flowerheads, which have a collar of extra large creamy-white bracts. It looks wonderful when scrambling up through a mature tree, or smothering an unsightly wall.
How to care for Hydrangea fauriei Angel Wings:
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 at least 60cm (24in) away from a host plant, fence or wall, and tie the stems onto a support until established.
