Climbing Hydrangea 3 Gallon

Hydrangea petiolaris

This type of hydrangrea is a versatile flowering vine that can be used as a wall covering, on an arbor, and even on the ground or a bank as covering. In late spring to early summer, the glossy green foliage becomes covered by fragrant clusters of white, lacecap flowers. The plant's reddish, exfoliating bark provides attractive winter interest along with its dried flowers. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune to shape after blooming. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
