Description
Broad green leaves cover walls and sturdy structures before large, flat white lacecap flower clusters open in early to midsummer. The foliage turns yellow in autumn, then falls to reveal textured reddish-brown peeling stems for winter interest.
Grow Hydrangea petiolaris in rich, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, or in sun where moisture remains reliable. Help young stems onto a sturdy support while they establish, then shorten over-long shoots just after flowering. Wear gloves when handling the plant.
