I live in zone 5 and was wandering about the care of a "Climbing Hydrangea"? I have it planted in full sun.....I know that it is a slow grower....this is the plants second year. It is growing, but I'm just not satisfied with how it is looking. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone know how to care for a "Climbing Hydrangea"?
Hardiness: A reliable performer in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-7.
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade.
Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of soils but thrives in moist well drained soils with supplemental organic matter.
Special Qualities: A picturesque, none aggressive vine with large lacy white flowers in early summer. Its glossy heart shaped leaves are very attractive.
Landscape use: This vine adheres by root-like tendrils making it an excellent vine for growing on brick walls or up tall, high limbed trees
Check the link below for more info, including a forum on Dave's Garden for others trying to grow them. Good luck!!
Reply:They really do best not planted in full sun. And patience they are a slow grower.It took mine 5 yers before it really started to get some height. Fertilize monthly and keep it well watered
