Design with this plant

Overview

The Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala petiolaris) is a deciduous vine valued for its vigorous growth, reaching heights up to 60 feet. It boasts lush, heart-shaped leaves and exuberant 6-10 inch white flower clusters in late spring to early summer. This shade-tolerant climber thrives on sturdy supports or trees, and its exfoliating bark adds winter interest. Ideal for USDA zones 4-8, it requires well-drained soil and part to full shade.
