Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris - Climbing Hydrangea
Hydrangea attains a height of 6-10 m, with 0,5 m of annual growth. It climbs by attaching itself to porous supports by means of adventitious roots. It has very interesting, green, ovate leaves on long petioles that turn yellow in autumn, but it is its white corymbed flowers that are its main attraction. Hydrangea thrives best in a sheltered position, in half-shade or even complete shade, and in soil that is not dry. It's suitable both as a climbing plant and groundcover. Its full hardiness makes it highly popular in many countries with a harsher climate (Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland). Often used as a hardy alternative to ivy that tends to freeze during severe winters.
