Description
Common name: Japanese hydrangea vine
An attractive climber for walls and fences or to grow through large trees. Large silver-gray leaves that turn to orange-red in the fall. The 9″ (23cm) clusters of flowers are ringed by flat lacy white bracts in late summer. ‘Moonlight’ has a lengthy blooming period of around 6-8 weeks. Valued for its silvery, blue-green, heart-shaped leaves (3-5″ across), Moonlight is very easy to grow. Some protection should be provided in zone 5.
Best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Little or no pruning is needed. If pruning to shape, prune in early spring. Prune hard if controlled height is desired.
