Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Burst of Light'

'Burst of Light' is a dazzling climber with a difference to add that unique, vivid lightness to the space it finds in the garden. Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Burst of Light,' 'Burst of Light,' presented in an elegant 5L pot. The variety is appreciated above all for its foliage: the leaves, with a base reminiscent of a heart, are showy, bright, and variegate of a brilliant colour that seems to capture and play with the sunbeams, giving radiant aspects. Producing delicate, lace-cap flowers from mid-to-late summer, the overall appearance is quite similar to its cousin, the hydrangea, but with an ethereal beauty.

Ideal for trailing up walls, trellises, or even trees, 'Burst of Light' prefers partial shade, which sets off its bright-against-the-dappled-light leaves most effectively, in fertile, well-drained soil. It is a very attractive plant, outstanding through the variegated foliage, even when not in bloom, and therefore it makes a perfect focal point for a shaded area of a garden.
