It produces lacecap white flower heads. It is deciduous with peeling cinnamon-colored bark that provides winter interest. It can grow 15+ meters. It is one of the few flowering vines for full shade. It is slow to start but virtually impossible to remove once established. It prefers north or east-facing walls. It is native to Japan and Korea.
