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:
Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.
Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
