How to Plant and to Grow Climbing hydrangea - Fragrant Flowering Vine

Climbing hydrangea is misunderstood. It has a reputation  as a temperamental thug, one that takes too long to grow and then grows too much when it does. But have faith friends, Hydrangea anomala petiolaris is a victim of  hasty judgement. 

It is true that it can take a bit to get going—three to five years in many cases. For this reason it is best to plant it, water it to get established (it’s a hydrangea so it will appreciate the water), and then forget it. Just go about your life in the garden, and one day you will think, “Hey, I wonder how that climbing hydrangea is doing?” And you’ll look at and it will be attached to whatever you’re growing it up and have put on a bit of new growth.

And then you just need to stand back. Because as slow as it is to establish, once it gets going, it goes. And goes. And goes. In fact it can grow to 30 to 50 feet.
Unlike other vines that either grab on with tendrils or need to be affixed to a structure, climbing hydrangea attaches with aerial rootlets on its stems. These will attach to a tree, siding, bricks, a fence or almost any other non-metallic surface.

    It's a spammer @Silver surfer  :)
    I see the flag thing isn't working again, so I'll do a report to the mods instead. That'll get rid of it.

    It isn't anything to do with Linksys, it is linksly.co which is a digital marketing site trying to hoover up your digital data to sell on.

  • It seems like you're refingerr to a website called "linksly.co" that you suspect might be involved in digital marketing practices aimed at collecting and selling user data. It's essential to be cautious when encountering websites that appear to be engaging in potentially questionable activities with user data
  • Planting and growing climbing hydrangea, a fragrant flowering vine, can add beauty and charm to your garden. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do so without plagiarism:


  • Planting Climbing Hydrangea:

    1. Choose the Right Location:

    Select a suitable location with well-draining soil and partial to full shade. Climbing hydrangeas prefer sheltered spots that receive some sunlight but are protected from harsh afternoon sun.

    2. Prepare the Soil:

    Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-drained. You can amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve its fertility and drainage.

    3. Provide Support:

    Climbing hydrangeas are vigorous climbers and need a sturdy support structure. Install trellises, arbors, or other structures for the vine to cling to as it grows.

    4. Planting:

    Dig a hole that is as deep as the hydrangea's root ball and about twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same level as it did in the nursery container.

    Backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil.
