Schizophragma integrifolium Deciduous climber (1 Page of 5) The Schizophragma integrifolium plant species is found in E. Asia - C. and W. China. It is a member of the Hydrangeaceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Schizophragma integrifolium Family: Hydrangeaceae Author: (Franch.)Oliv. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 12 Mature Width: Habitat: Rocky cliffs[11], sparse hillside forests and forest edges[147].
Cultivation Notes: Requires a moist leafy soil and some shade at the roots. An easily grown plant[1], it prefers a good loamy soil and plenty of moisture[11] but is not fussy[219]. Plants succeed in sun or shade[182], they flower better in a sunny position but will also succeed on a north-facing wall[188, 219]. In the hotter parts of Britain they prefer shade from the midday sun[219].
Tolerating temperatures down to about -10 to -15°c, this species is not reliably hardy in the coldest parts of the country[219].
Plants do not normally require pruning, though any unwanted growth can be removed in the winter[219].
Plants have a similar growth habit to ivy (Hedera helix) climbing trees by means of aerial roots or growing along the woodland floor[1, 182]. Plants might need some help to become attached in their early years[182].
