Climbing hydrangea is the perfect plant for the north side of the house or by a fence. At first you have to help it up, but over time it will establish itself. Hydrangea anomala var. pteiolaris blooms very early in the spring, has decorative white flowers in the summer and beautiful yellow autumn colour in the autumn. Climbing hydrangea can actually also be used as a strong ground cover in the shade. Climbing hydrangea likes to be planted in nutrient-rich soil, so buy a bag of plant starter to mix in the planting hole.
