Climbing Hydrangea 1 Live Plant – Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris – Quart Pot

Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris) is a deciduous woody climbing vine admired for its attractive foliage, elegant white flowers, and ability to cover vertical garden structures. Its broad, heart-shaped green leaves create a lush appearance during the growing season, while mature stems develop attractive reddish-brown, peeling bark that provides additional visual interest.

During late spring to early summer, established plants produce broad clusters of fragrant, white lacecap-style flowers. These flattened flower clusters feature small fertile flowers surrounded by larger, showy white florets. Climbing Hydrangea attaches to suitable surfaces using aerial rootlets, making it an attractive choice for sturdy walls, fences, arbors, and large garden structures.

Supplied as one live Climbing Hydrangea in a quart nursery pot (QT), this ornamental vine generally performs best in partial shade to full shade and moist, well-drained, organically rich soil. It is valued for its shade tolerance and natural climbing habit. Young plants may take several growing seasons to establish before producing abundant flowers.
