Hydrangea Species, Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris)


My yard, 5-2009


In bloom, and very fragrant...

27th. of May 2002 Well he's just a young plant, and the blooms are small, but very nice, and they are also sweetly fragrant.

The 18th of April 2002, and a wonder has happened!!
This is the start of a flower on the three year old plant. I was really surprised to see this, as I thought they only bloomed after about 5 years.

Climbing Hydrangea supported by a section of chain link fence (10+ yrs old & in full sun).

This is the same plant on the 5th of April 2002. The foliage grows quite thick, and is a beautiful lush green colour.

This is how the Hydrangea looked on the 5th of February 2002. These are the branches of a 3 year old plant which I have moved for the third, and hopefully last, time.

Originally staked in a container, this hydrangea has really taken off for being planted for one year.
