IDENTITY (20+ yr old plant)
• Deciduous woody vine with aerial rootlets that cling to wood, masonry, or bark
• Slow to establish (first 2–3 years), then steady, reliable growth
• Mature size: 30–50 ft long; 5–8 ft spread if unsupported
• Growth habit: self-clinging, no trellis required once established
FLOWERS
• Flat white lacecap clusters (6–10 in across)
• Bloom time: late spring to early summer
• Fragrance: light, sweet
• Attracts pollinators (bees, hoverflies)
FOLIAGE
• Dark green, ovate leaves; 2–4 in
• Yellow fall color
• Dense coverage once mature
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
• Best: partial shade (AM sun / PM shade)
• Tolerates: full shade
• Accepts: full sun only in cool-summer climates; requires consistent moisture
• Avoid: hot, reflective exposures (south/west walls in hot zones)
SOIL REQUIREMENTS
• Moist, well-drained soil
• Prefers rich, humus-heavy loam
• pH: slightly acidic to neutral
• Avoid: compacted or waterlogged soil
WATER
• Keep evenly moist during establishment (first 2–3 years)
• Mature plants tolerate short dry spells
• Mulch recommended to maintain root moisture
TEMPERATURE & CLIMATE
• USDA zones: 4–8
• Cold-hardy; requires winter dormancy
• Performs well in cool, maritime climates (Sequim/Port Angeles type conditions)
PLANTING
• Best time: early spring or early fall
• Plant 6–12 in from wall or support to allow root expansion
• Loosen soil deeply; amend with compost
• Water thoroughly after planting
SUPPORT
• Self-clinging via aerial rootlets
• For non-porous surfaces (metal, vinyl): provide initial wires or lattice
• For trees: safe to grow on mature trunks; does not strangle
MAINTENANCE
• Pruning: minimal; prune after flowering to control size
• Remove winter-killed tips in spring
• Do not hard-prune to the ground (slow recovery)
• Fertilizer: light, balanced feed in spring if soil is poor
GROWTH RATE
• Slow first 2–3 years (“sleep/creep”), then moderate
• Full coverage of a wall may take 5–7 years depending on conditions
PESTS & DISEASE
• Generally pest-free
• Occasional leaf spot or powdery mildew in stagnant air
• Root rot possible in poorly drained soil
SPECIAL NOTES
• Excellent for north-facing walls
• Long-lived; can remain in place for decades
• One of the few vines that thrives in deep shade
