Planting and positioning of climbing hydrangea
Climbing hydrangea thrives best in partial shade to full shade and well-drained soil. It tolerates both sunny locations with adequate moisture and shadier areas, where its flowering may be a little more subdued.
When planting against a wall or pergola, it is important to allow the roots to establish themselves so that the plant can grow stably and cover the surface effectively.
Care of climbing hydrangea
Climbing hydrangeas require minimal pruning, typically only to shape the plant or remove dead branches. Flowering occurs on old branches, which means pruning should be done after flowering if you want to preserve as many flower clusters as possible.
Over time, climbing hydrangea will develop a dense, green cover and continue to bloom year after year, while also creating natural shade and decorative facades.
