Hydrangea anomala petiolaris Seeds

Climbing Hydrangea

Looking for a robust deciduous vine those blossoms in early summer, while it scrambles over rock walls, substantial trellises, up brick walls and over old tree stumps? You've found it! There are few plants that create as much excitement as does Climbing Hydrangea, especially when seen in full bloom. One of the most robust vines available, this beauty sometimes takes a year to settle in but then stand back. She'll wow you with her abilities. The lacy, creamy-white blooms appear in late spring or early summer. The blooms are actually comprised of numerous small fertile flowers which encircle the larger sterile flowers - the effect is unforgettable! Heart shaped, deep green leaves on cinnamon coloured stems sometimes turn yellow in autumn, adding to the climbing hydrangea's seasonal interest. This native of Japan, Korea and Russia creates an especially full profile with lots of leafy lateral branches. One of the greatest features of this plant is that it flowers in a shady location, never seeing any sunlight. In the evening the flowers are quite heavily scented. Frost hardy to -30°C and is happy in a wide range of light conditions. Anyone who has ever seen one will never forget it and will most certainly want one of their own!
