Description

This Hydrangea grows as a slow, deciduous vine, clinging by adhesive roots like English Ivy. Its wide, heart shaped, deep green leaves offer a nice contrast to the white "lacecap" flowers which appear in summer. The plant should receive sun to part shade, along with average watering. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Make sure ponds and water features aren't leaking, splash out is minimized, and water for streams and waterfalls is recirculated.

Keeping water surface areas small and partially shaded will also reduce evaporation.
