Hydrangea anomala Petiolaris, commonly known as Climbing Hydrangea, is a vigorous deciduous vine prized for its showy white lacecap blooms, rich green foliage, and ability to thrive in shade. It clings to surfaces using aerial rootlets and can grow 30 to 50 feet tall, making it ideal for covering walls, fences, arbors, or large trees. Blooming in early summer, the flat-topped flower clusters provide a soft, elegant look. In winter, its exfoliating reddish bark adds texture and year-round interest. Though slow to establish, Hydrangea anomala Petiolaris becomes a long-lived and dependable addition to shaded vertical spaces.

Climbing Hydrangea grows best in partial shade to full shade, though it will tolerate some morning sun. It prefers moist, rich, well-draining soil and appreciates regular watering, especially during dry periods. It’s an excellent choice for north- or east-facing walls, arbors, and large trees.
Climbing Hydrangea is a vigorous climber, capable of reaching 30–50 feet tall with support. It attaches itself to surfaces with aerial rootlets but can also sprawl along the ground if no vertical structure is available, making it a versatile option for walls, fences, or slopes.
Climbing Hydrangea produces large, flat-topped clusters of creamy white flowers in early to mid-summer. The flowers are lightly fragrant and attract pollinators. The plant also features attractive exfoliating bark and heart-shaped, dark green leaves that turn golden yellow in fall.
Climbing Hydrangea blooms once per year, typically in late spring to early summer, around May to July depending on the climate. Mature plants tend to produce more abundant and showy blooms than younger ones, which may take a few years to start flowering.
Climbing Hydrangea is moderately deer-resistant. While deer generally avoid it compared to more tender plants, heavy browsing pressure might still cause occasional damage, especially to new growth. Some protection may be helpful in areas with a high deer population.
