Woodvamp (also known as native climbing Hydrangea) is native to the Southeastern United States and is another beautiful flowering vine for the shade.

Its blooms appear on new wood and are not as large as the cultivated climbing hydrangeas. But they are fragrant and still big enough to put on a show.
