The care secret that transformed my Climbing Hydrangea

I'd had Climbing Hydrangea for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to training new growth to the support structure while still flexible and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

vertical growing habit maximising space in small gardens became much more pronounced. The plant in a trellis panel as a garden divider now looks like a completely different specimen. bare structure in winter revealing the interesting stem framework confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. slow establishment in the first season before taking off has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Climbing Hydrangea is underwhelming, look at training new growth to the support structure while still flexible first.
