How to train Hydrangea seemanii

Training Hydrangea seemanii, like other climbing hydrangeas, involves guiding its growth and providing proper support. Hydrangea seemanii can become quite heavy, so choose a sturdy support like a strong trellis, a wall, or even a mature tree. They climb by aerial rootlets, which adhere best to rough surfaces such as wood or stone. As the plant grows, gently guide the stems onto the support structure. Use soft ties to secure the stems loosely to the trellis and distribute the stems evenly across the support structure to create a balanced appearance. Pruning is important for maintaining shape and controlling growth. It can take some time for Hydrangea seemanii to cover a wall or trellis but the wait is worth it!
