Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Super sized leaves of this jolly green giant. Largest leaves with bright white lacy blooms on this rare climbing hydrangea. Original selection came to us via a southern Oregon nursery known for the unusual plants. Their original specimen came from the New Jersey Botanical Garden at Skylands. I can't wait to get this one growing on our retaining wall in the garden. Surprisingly, we did get a bloom on one of the container plants - unusual for Petiolaris. Enjoy this climbing hydrangea, very limited supply.
Especially large and showy white flowers on a Hydrangea Vine at the New Jersey Botanical Garden at Skylands caught someone?s eye and gave us this superior 30' vine. S-PSh/M
This sterling cultivar's lustrous, toothed greenery is dappled with choice cream-colored lacy blooms. A luminous standout amid eastward shadows, 'Skylands Giant' was selected at the New Jersey Botanical Garden in Skylands for its exceptionally large showy lacecaps, which feature soft-looking centers of tiny fertile flowers ringed by loosely arranged, larger white sterile florets.
