Growing Information
Pileostegia viburnoides will grow in full shade, part shade or full sun. Grow in any rich fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Grow against walls and fences where it will cling and support itself via aerial roots.
Water regularly until plants are fully established. After flowering, trim back perimeter shoots to fit the available space if required. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: Contact with hydrangea foliage may irritate the skin and eyes and all parts are harmful if eaten.
