Hydrangea petiolaris
Object Details
- Description
- This climbing hydrangea is most commonly trained to climb up walls or other supports. However, if left unsupported, it will grow as a 3-4’ (91-121 cm) tall shrub. H. petiolaris tolerates deep shade and extends branches that can be up to 3’ (91 cm) long, making it a great choice both for shady areas and its unique texture.
