The Only Climbing Hydrangea Variety

 

Why Climbing Hydrangeas?

A vigorous climbing vine for arbors, pergolas and beyond, the Climbing Hydrangea delivers beauty unlike any other. It has a slow-growing, shrubby habit until it's established, and then it takes off...producing long, fast-growing stems that blanket your garden in unmatched elegance.

The only climbing variety available, this Hydrangea is so vigorous that it can cloak your home in no time. And since it's deciduous, it shades walls in summer but lets the sun in during winter, thus saving energy. With its clinging habit, it doesn't require a trellis and extends across any surface with ease.

White lacecap blooms fill your garden throughout the summer. Your yard will be full of life and color all throughout the summer as your Climbing Hydrangea blossoms. The dark green leaves and creamy petals make an excellent contrast against your landscape's backdrop, providing inexpensive yet elegant cover that's second to none.

From the cold of Chicago to the humidity of Atlanta, it thrives. Resistant to a light freeze and tolerant of fairly hot temperatures, your Hydrangea can flourish in most conditions. So, despite its delicate appearance, it's unbelievably strong.

its just 5 inches tall has one 8 inch long climbing branch

it was planted this spring, has grown to about 5 inches, has one arm about 8 inches that is trying to climb up a wall

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Julia, thanks for the update. It’s normal for climbing hydrangeas to start small while they put energy into root growth. That 8-inch branch is a great sign it’s beginning to do what it’s meant to. With patience and support, it should reward you with steady vertical growth. Give us a shout if you need any help.

Awesome hydrangeas

My climbing hydrangeas came well, packaged a lot bigger than I expected them to be very healthy and one had buds starting to form on it. They planted on my trellis and fence. I can’t wait to see what they look like in a couple of years. They’re well worth the investment. Thank you fast growing trees for sending such healthy and nice looking plants!

Just like Grandma’s

It arrived in perfect condition. It is slow growing but that may be due to the location. Bursting with leaves and looking quite healthy.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Lizbeth! Thank you so much for your kind words. We're glad to hear your Climbing Hydrangea arrived in perfect condition and is looking healthy and full of life. These beauties can take a little time to establish, especially depending on light and soil conditions, but once they settle in, they reward you for years to come. We're here anytime you need care tips or support as it continues to grow.
