North West
Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris 'Silver Lining' (PBR)
climbing hydrangea
2 lt pot (30cm cane)
available to order from late summer
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Position: sun to partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: slow at first, then medium
- Flowering period: midsummer
- Hardiness: fully hardy
This cultivar is very similar in most respects to the species, but instead of the normally deep green leaves, the foliage of this one has a very pretty variegation. Tolerant of some shade, it is ideal for lighting up a dark wall or corner, and the flowers when they appear in midsummer will put on a wonderful display. Like the species, it produces aerial roots along the stems, so once it settles in, it will attach itself to the wall or fence. - Garden care: Plant in moist, fertile soil and do not allow the soil to dry out while the plant is getting established. This hydrangea flowers on the previous season’s wood, so if you need to prune it back, do so in late autumn or early spring, but be warned that this will restrict flowering the following year.

This hasn't done much since I put it in the garden to grow up a fence, but we live in hope, it seems healthy enough.

- Is this a self climber or does it require support?

Hello, Yes, this plant produces aerial roots along the length of its stems, so once it gets settled in, it will start attaching itself to the wall or fence.

Hello there No this is a deciduous climber. Hope this helps.
- Hello, I have a north facing wall that I would like to grow this on (in the corner) . Will it thrive or would I be better off planting Hydrangea Petiolaris (the non-silver lining version)? Thank you.

Hello there This climber will tolerate a north facing wall although it does need some sun. As long as it has a moist, well drained, fertile soil it should be fine. Hope this helps
Hydrangeas - which one to choose?
Hydrangeas come in many guises, but the blue and pink mopheads and lacecaps that flower in summer are generally forms of Hydrangea macrophylla, an Asian species that prefers lots of summer rainfall and drier winters. This can be tricky in drier gardens, b

Take advantage and do some early spring planting, but only on clement days. You can never have too many climbers and twiners, and now is the ideal time to get them in. They take up little ground space, so they’re perfect for smaller plots, and then they g
