Welcome to our plant search tool. This database contains many of the thousands of plants that we carry. There are some notable exceptions. Hundreds of new perennials come out every year and Make It Green has been a leader in making them available to you. Eventually the recent introductions will make it to our plant search tool but every year there will be a lag between our in-store plant selection and this search tool. Unfortunately this search tool can't cover everything that we will carry this year. We also carry over 100 varieties of rare and unusual evergreens and over 100 varieties of hard-to-find shrubs many of which are not in the plant search. Click on the Plant List button for a list of nearly all the woody plants (trees, shrubs and evergreens) that we have ordered or already have in stock for this coming year.
Rosea Hydrangea Vine
Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Rosea'
Height: 35 feet
Spread: 4 feet
Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: 5a
Other Names: Roseum Hydrangea Vine
Description:
This exceptional vine features deep green toothed foliage as a backdrop for pretty cream lacecap flowers with rose-pink bracts; a self-clinging vine for the discriminating gardener
Ornamental Features
Rosea Hydrangea Vine is smothered in stunning cymes of fragrant creamy white flowers with rose bracts along the branches from early to mid summer. It has attractive dark green deciduous foliage. The serrated heart-shaped leaves are highly ornamental and turn yellow in fall. The peeling brown bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Landscape Attributes
Rosea Hydrangea Vine is a multi-stemmed deciduous woody vine with a twining and trailing habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage.
This woody vine will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Rosea Hydrangea Vine is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
Planting & Growing
Rosea Hydrangea Vine will grow to be about 35 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. As a climbing vine, it tends to be leggy near the base and should be underplanted with low-growing facer plants. It should be planted near a fence, trellis or other landscape structure where it can be trained to grow upwards on it, or allowed to trail off a retaining wall or slope. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.
This woody vine performs well in both full sun and full shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
