Hydrangea petiolaris | Climbing Hydrangea - 60-100cm, 10lt Flowering but can tolerate light shadeHydrangea petiolaris is a large, vigorous, self clinging, deciduous climber with aerial rootlets along the stems, which have reddish brown and exfoliating bark when the plant is mature. Heart shaped, glossy, dark green leaves turn golden yellow in autumn. Fragrant, white flowers in flattened clusters bloom in late spring and early summer. Each cluster has tiny, greenish yellow fertile flowers in the centre and sterile, white flowers around them.
