What makes Flirty Girl different than other false hydrangea vines?

• Blooms at a young age, eliminating the typical years-long wait

Details:
Name: Schizophragma hydrangeoides 'Minsnow3' pp31,720, cbraf
Hardiness: USDA zones 5-9
Height + width: 40-50'  and 6-9' wide (taller/wider in milder climates, shorter in areas with long, cold winters)
Light: Full to part sun
Soil: Any well-drained soil will do. 
Pruning: Pruning is rarely needed, though climbing hydrangeas may be selectively pruned to fill a specific space or to improve the habit. False hydrangea vines bloom on old wood, so trimming/cutting back will remove flower buds.
Water: Average water needs. Does not tolerate wet conditions.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once in early spring with a rose fertilizer if desired.
Bloom time: Early summer
Bloom color: White, aging to green. 
Uses: Like climbing hydrangeas, false hydrangea vines must be grown on a structure, but almost anything will do. Growing up the trunks of trees is one of the most loveliest ways to enjoy them, but they cling equally well to man-made structures. Climbing hydrangea is unlikely to harm the trees they grow on or masonry, however, if you remove the plant, their dried old rootlets will cling to the surface for several years unless scrubbed off.
