Climbing Hydrangea

About this plant

Hydrangea petiolaris, commonly known as Climbing Hydrangea, is a captivating vine that brings old-world charm and elegant beauty to any landscape. Its magnificent white lacecap flowers appear in late spring to early summer, providing a stunning display against its lush, dark green foliage. This vigorous climber self-adheres to surfaces with aerial roots, making it an excellent choice for adorning brick walls, stone fences, and sturdy arbors. Even without support, it can sprawl as an attractive groundcover, offering versatility in its application. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Climbing Hydrangea offers year-round interest with its exfoliating, cinnamon-colored bark that provides a unique texture and visual appeal during the winter months.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning; trim after flowering to maintain desired size and shape. Protect young plants from harsh winter winds. Provide sturdy support for climbing. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage.
