Hydrangea anomala petiolaris
Climbing Hydrangea
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:
Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.
Organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust will also break down and improve the soil.
