Though slower to establish than say Hydrangea petiolaris, the advantage is that the slow growth makes it a perfect plant for those with smaller spaces and the flowers are infinitely more interesting and showy
Plant description
An attractive deciduous climber producing slightly fragrant, creamy-white flower heads up to 25cm across, that resemble lacecap hydrangeas, in mid-summer. Japanese hydrangea vine is ideal for covering a large wall or fence or for training through a robust tree. Initially it is slow to establish, but it copes well with most conditions except extremely alkaline soil. As it grows it will attach itself to its support by aerial roots.

How to care for Hydrangea hydrangeoides:
To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.
Please note:
