Hydrangea Anomala var. 'Petiolaris', better known as climbing hydrangea, is native to Japan and North-East Asia. This wild climber grows mainly in woody and mountainous areas. The climbing hydrangea is self-adhesive. With its aerial roots, it can attach itself to almost any surface and can reach a maximum height of 4 to 5 metres. If you do not let the Hydrangea 'Petiolaris' climb, you can also let it grow as a shrub or ground cover. The maximum height of the shrub is then about 2 metres. The hardy shrub blooms from June to August with beautiful large white flowers.

Care
Hydrangea ‘Petiolaris’ is not very demanding regarding location or soil type, which makes it a very popular climbing plant. Keep in mind, however, that when grown in shade, it will produce fewer flowers than in full sun. The climbing hydrangea is not a fast grower but can eventually reach a height of 4–5 meters. It grows both vertically and horizontally, allowing it to be guided easily into the desired shape and direction. If it becomes too large, it can be pruned back without difficulty. The best time to do this is right after flowering or in winter.

Size
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9cm.
