Description
Schizophragma hydrangeoides ‘Snow Sensation' is a very beautiful improvement of the climbing false hydrangea, more vigorous and more floriferous than the species, from a young age. In summer, it is covered with large cream-white inflorescences that resemble those of certain hydrangeas in their delicacy and lightness. In spring, the plant reveals young red shoots, then a dark green foliage with a bluer reverse, enhanced by the red petioles that bear the leaves. Equipped with small aerial roots, this Schizophragma clings firmly to its support: tree, fence or wall. It is a very good choice to brighten up cool shady areas of the garden.
Schizophragma hydrangeoides ‘Snow Sensation’ belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family. It is a French horticultural creation from Hortival Diffusion dating back to 2018. Schizophragma are plants closely related to climbing hydrangeas. They originate from wooded and humid regions of Asia, China, the Himalayas, Japan, and Korea. This Snow Sensation cultivar will reach about 10 m (33ft) in height and spread over 3-4 m. From 3 years old, the Schizophragma attaches itself with climbing roots and aerial roots, just like ivy. In June-July, a long and abundant flowering takes place that lasts at least 3 weeks, mainly at the end of the stems. It takes the form of airy inflorescences with a diameter of 15-20 cm (6-8in) composed of small bunches of tiny fertile yellowish to cream-white nectar-rich flowers in the centre, surrounded by sterile flowers with large heart-shaped, veined, pearly white bracts. The foliage is deciduous and consists of leaves measuring 6 to 12 cm (2 to 5in) long, opposite on the branches, with a finely toothed margin and carried by red petioles. This climbing false hydrangea is a very hardy plant that withstands temperatures down to -20°C.
Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Snow Sensation' does not like soils that are too dry, too poor, or limestone. If necessary, add humus to maintain moisture and lower the pH of your soil, and apply well-rotted compost around the base of the plant. Very decorative effect on a north-facing wall or on the trunk of a mature tree. While it enjoys a shaded and protected position, it needs light to flower properly, with the morning sun being ideal. This woody climber can also run along the ground, like ivy, brightening up the neglected and dark areas of the garden.

Planting and care
Schizophragma Snow Sensation does not like dry and poor soils, nor limestone. If necessary, add organic matter to maintain moisture (the soil should never completely dry out, otherwise it will be impossible to rehydrate) and reduce the pH of your soil, if too limestone-rich. Also, add compost and potting soil. Plant it in autumn or spring. Dig a hole at least 50 cm (20in) deep and mix organic matter and bonemeal with the original soil. A humus-rich, clayey, moist, but well-drained soil is ideal.
The most suitable exposure is partial shade. However, you can place them in the sun, but protect the base from direct rays. Avoid excessively hot areas and the setting sun. Regular fertilizer applications will benefit this demanding plant. Staking is necessary until the aerial roots have a good grip. Light pruning should be done at the end of winter to remove faded flowers from the previous season. You can remove unruly or tangled stems in autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
