Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris | Climbing Hydrangea

Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris is a self-clinging deciduous climber with dark green leaves and broad heads of white lacecap flowers in early summer. It is particularly valuable for covering shaded walls, fences and tree trunks, where it develops into a strong, long-lived specimen.

Why we like it

• Excellent climber for shaded walls
• White lacecap flowers in early summer
• Self-clinging stems require little support once established

What to know

• Plant in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil.
• Water regularly during establishment.
• Growth can be slow at first before becoming vigorous.
• Prune lightly after flowering only when necessary to control size.
