Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

This Hydrangea grows as a slow, deciduous vine, clinging by adhesive, aerial rootlets like english ivy. Its wide, heart shaped, deep green leaves offer a nice contrast to the white lacecap flowers which appear in summer. Grow in sun to part shade, in our climate it grows best on east or north walls and fences. It can eventually grow 40 to 60 feet, but that will take quite a bit of time, and its size can be controlled through selective pruning. Deciduous.
