Description
Climbing Hydrangea is a large woody deciduous vine with horizontal branching and attractive red-brown exfoliating bark. The serrated dark green leaves have a cordate base and are a non-showy yellow in fall. Flat-topped lacecap clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in late spring to early summer. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Unsupported vines will sometimes sprawl as groundcover and form multiple 3-4′ shrub-like mounds.
