Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Windmills' is a striking deciduous climber grown for its large summer flower heads, each surrounded by distinctive pinwheel-shaped white bracts that create a dramatic display. The broad green foliage provides a lush backdrop through the growing season before turning soft yellow in autumn. Self-clinging and easy to train, this hardy climber thrives in partial to full shade and is ideal for north-facing walls, fences, and shaded structures where many flowering plants struggle. Low maintenance and long-lived, 'Windmills' offers reliable coverage, seasonal interest, and an elegant alternative to climbing hydrangeas.
