Description

This Hydrangea grows as a slow, deciduous vine, clinging by adhesive roots like English Ivy. Its wide, heart shaped, deep green leaves offer a nice contrast to the white "lacecap" flowers which appear in summer. The plant should receive sun to part shade, along with average watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
