Hydrangea (Climbing Hydrangea) - petiolaris Moonlight Magic

Description: 'Moonlight Magic' has variegated leaves which make it standout from many other climbers. Throughout the season, the leaves of each sprout of new growth will be bright pink changing to rich gold before maturing to dark green. The display is especially dramatic with Spring's initial new growth. The dark green leaves provide a backdrop for summer's masses of creamy-white lace-cap flowers, often interspersed with the pink and gold of the new foliage. The flowers can reach up to ten inches across! In autumn, the leaves will change to butter yellow or a golden yellow, depending on growing conditions. Once the leaves have fallen, the thick cinnamon-colored bark is revealed, providing a tracery of beauty and interest throughout the winter months. No matter where you plant your hydrangea - climbing up a tree, a trellis or the side of a house, it will create the most fabulous display all year long.

Climbing hydrangea prefers a moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It will eventually reach 30 feet tall with a spread of about 10 feet. The stems form rootlets that will cling to almost anything. In our experience in zone 6, however, climbing hydrangea usually will not self-climb a south-facing or west-facing wall in full, hot sun; but, with ample moisture, it will thrive and bloom beautifully, with support, under these conditions. It can be pruned after summer blooming, if needed.
