Description
Schizophragma Windmills is a delightful representative of the climbing hydrangea family. All are vines that are very useful for brightening up dark and often neglected places. Equipped with aerial roots, it firmly clings to its support, be it a tree or a wall, reaching heights of up to 5m (16ft). It also captivates with its remarkably airy spring flowering in large terminal inflorescences, delicate as lace, reminiscent of certain white hydrangeas. This new variety of great delicacy undoubtedly deserves to be more widely used in our gardens.
Schizophragma Windmills belongs to the Hydrangeaceae family. It is derived from Schizophragma integrifolium and hydrangeoides. These climbing plants, similar to climbing hydrangeas, originate from wooded and humid regions of Asia, China, the Himalayas, Japan, and Korea.
The 'Windmills' variety has been selected for its moderate growth and its unusual flowering. It will reach an average height of 4m (13ft) and spread over 2m (7ft), with fairly rapid growth. Except for young plants under 3 years old, the Schizophragma attaches itself using climbing roots with its aerial roots. A long flowering period of at least 3 weeks occurs in June-July, with flowers produced mainly at the ends of the stems. These are airy, creamy white inflorescences with a diameter of 30cm (12in) composed of a centre of small bunches of tiny plume-like fertile flowers surrounded by large trailing bracts, resembling long-petioled leaves. The flowering is extraordinary but sometimes takes 3 to 4 years to appear. The foliage is deciduous with deep green, large heart-shaped leaves, 10 to 20cm (4 to 8in) long and opposite, which may have a toothed margin.
The Schizophragma has moderate hardiness and will struggle to survive below -15°C (5°F). Schizophragma does not like overly dry or 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 lower the pH of your soil. Install it against a support, such as the trunk of a large tree or a shady wall. While it prefers a shaded and protected position, it needs light to flower properly, with morning sun being ideal. This vine can also run along the ground, like ivy, to brighten up neglected and dark areas of the garden.

Planting and care
Schizophragma has a medium hardiness and will struggle to survive below -15°C (5°F). Schizophragma does not like dry and poor soils or 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 overly limestone 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 soil rich in humus, clayey, moist but well-drained is ideal. The most suitable exposure is partial shade. However, you can place them in the sun, but shelter the base from direct rays. Avoid overly hot areas and the setting sun. Regular fertilizer applications will benefit this greedy plant. Staking is necessary until the aerial roots are well established. Light pruning should be done at the end of winter to remove faded flowers from the previous season and 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.
