Key Features:

1. Cascading Clusters of White Flowers:

   • Hydrangea anomala periolaris produces large, flat clusters of fragrant white flowers in early to mid-summer. The abundant blooms create a striking visual display against the backdrop of its glossy green foliage, adding charm and elegance to any garden setting.

2. Height and Spread:

   • Height: Up to 30 feet
   • Spread: 6-10 feet
   • As a vigorous climber, Hydrangea anomala periolaris can reach heights of up to 30 feet when supported by a structure such as a wall or trellis. Its spread typically ranges from 6 to 10 feet, providing ample coverage and a graceful presence in the garden.

3. Adaptable Growth Habit:

   • This climbing hydrangea features a twining, self-clinging growth habit, allowing it to attach securely to vertical surfaces using aerial rootlets. It can also be trained to sprawl across the ground or cascade over retaining walls, providing flexibility in garden design.

4. Lush Foliage:

   • The glossy, dark green foliage of Hydrangea anomala periolaris serves as an attractive backdrop to its abundant flowers. The leaves turn yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape before dropping in winter.

5. Tolerant of Partial Shade:

   • While Climbing Hydrangea thrives in partial shade to full sun conditions, it performs best when planted in a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. This tolerance of varying light conditions makes it suitable for a range of garden settings.

Maintenance Tips:

Caring for Hydrangea anomala periolaris is simple with these maintenance guidelines:

1. Pruning:

   • Prune Climbing Hydrangea lightly in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plant as desired. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can reduce flowering potential.

2. Watering:

   • Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the plant's establishment period. Once established, Climbing Hydrangea is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells.

3. Fertilization:

   • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering vines in spring, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nitrogen can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers.

4. Support and Training:

   • Provide a sturdy support structure such as a trellis, wall, or fence for Climbing Hydrangea to climb and cling to. Train the vine by tying its stems to the support using soft garden twine, allowing it to spread and grow evenly.

5. Mulching:

   • Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate the roots. Maintain a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, avoiding direct contact with the stem to prevent rot.

Conclusion:

Hydrangea anomala periolaris, with its cascading clusters of white flowers and lush foliage, is a captivating addition to any garden landscape. With proper care and maintenance, this vigorous climber thrives in a variety of light conditions and adds vertical interest and elegance to outdoor spaces.
