Oak Leaf Hydrangea - Dwarf. Fabulous foliage in spring-autumn and brilliant big bold heads of creamy white blooms from summer to autumn. The large lobed spring-summer foliage is fresh green but turns deep wine red in autumn and holds well into winter. Plant in semi-shade. Prune hard late winter-early spring. Deciduous.

Though this Hydrangea is more tolerant of dry conditions than most it still should not be in soil that completely dries out in summer. Information Pages

aka Climbing Hydrangea

Lacecap. This is a very rare, self-clinging, climbing Hydrangea that hails from Mexico. The evergreen leaves are large, serrated and dark green. The flat white flower heads open from large buds and appear en masse in summer. Protect from harsh frost. Evergreen.

An interesting plant that can be used to cover an unsightly wall or fence, perhaps use it to cover a water tank if you live rural. Like me the plant may droop a little in our harsh afternoon sun but as long as it is well watered it will recover as the day cools. Perhaps happiest in a morning sun only position. Information Pages
