Hydrangea petiolaris - Climbing Hydrangea
Gorgeous chartreuse blooms in mid-summer that turn white and last until autumn when they change to rich pink. The flower heads are 6" - 12" in size and look amazing in fresh or dried floral arrangements. Blooms are evenly distributed making it a symmetrical and clean-looking plant. This shrub is deer resistant, somewhat drought tolerant once established in the landscape, and provides an impressive display through the end of the season. Truly a stunner!
