Climbing Hydrangea
Climbing hydrangea is deciduous, woody vine native to Japan, Korea and Taiwan. This vigorous clinging vine has distinctly red-brown branches covered with lustrous, heart-shaped, dark green leaves. In late spring to summer it produces flattened clusters of fragrant, white, lacecap flowers. In the winter its pretty, peeling red-brown bark provides interest.
Plant this vine in sites with partial sun to shade and fertile, well drained, highly organic soil. Climbing hydrangea can become quite large and needs a substantial support to cling to, such as a stone wall, tree or building face.
