Hydrangea anomala petiolaris
Climbing Hydrangea
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
