Schizophragma hydrangeoides Rose Sensation

This Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Rose Sensation' is supplied in an approx 5L pot and does produce some of the prettiest blooms that appear on any climbing plant and therefore is bound to be a good talking point within the garden. This variety is especially noted for its brilliant rose-pink flowers, similar to those of its cousin, the hydrangea. Racemes of these lovely flowers are borne from mid-to-late summer among the heart-shaped, dark-green leaves. 'Rose Sensation' assumes the same shape as all other Akebia, making a spectacle when draped from walls and trellises or as a naturally appearing cover for fences.

Perfect for brightening shady areas in the garden with vertical interest, 'Rose Sensation' thrives best under partial to full shade, so brilliant blooms can stand out. It requires moist but not waterlogged, well-drained, and fertile soil. This climber is apt for gardening enthusiasts, intending to dress their outdoors with an all-round foliage plant, and at the same time, will provide good flowers.
