Characteristics of Climbing Hydrangea

Climbing hydrangea is a unique vine that can reach impressive heights, offering an ethereal presence in your landscape. The glossy leaves and clusters of fragrant, white flowers bloom in summer and are followed by beautiful peeling bark in autumn, providing year-round interest. It is particularly well-suited to shaded areas, making it an ideal candidate for trellises, fences, and walls that need a green touch.

Growing Climbing Hydrangea in NZ

When planting climbing hydrangea in NZ, it's important to choose a location that gets partial to full shade. This plant prefers well-drained, rich soil, making it essential to amend the ground with organic matter before planting. Watering regularly, especially during dry spells, will help establish its roots and promote vigorous growth. As these climbers can be quite vigorous, consider training them on a sturdy structure, like our Moss Pole For Plants, to guide their ascent.
