Did you know
- Decumaria is sometimes called climbing hydrangea vine and is a true native American woodland climber.
- It climbs using aerial rootlets similar to English ivy, clinging directly to tree bark.
- The fragrant white flower clusters appear at the top of the vine and attract numerous pollinators.
- The genus name Decumaria refers to the flower parts being in tens, unlike most hydrangea relatives.
- In the wild, it grows in bottomland forests and along stream banks from Virginia to Louisiana.
