The Best Climber
Perfect for walls, arbors, and more!
Climbing Hydrangea (Syn. H. anomala ssp. Petiolaris) boasts an exceptional shrub-like habit. "There is no better climbing vine," says Donald Wyman, respected American authority on woody plants. Truly spectacular when in flower in midsummer, it climbs without support on walls, arbors, or trees, reaching 60 to 80 feet. Its white flowers, rich green foliage, striking exfoliating bark, and shrub-like growth create all-season interest. This plant needs no support to grow upward -- so you don't have to worry about tying the vine! Just give it a wall, arbor, or other structure to grow against, and up it goes! Also effective as a ground cover, Climbing Hydrangea is easy, carefree, and very long-lived. It can be somewhat slow to establish, but once settled in, it makes excellent growth each year. Zones 4-8.
