Climbing Hydrangea
The Climbing Hydrangea, 'Hydrangea petiolaris', will produce beautiful white flowers in late summer and early fall. Climbing Hydrangea is one of the best vines for clinging to brick or stone walls. The yellow fall foliage is another feature of this plant. This plant is slow to establish, but quite vigorous thereafter. The Climbing Hydrangea vine is an extremely versatile vine with year-round interest. The exfoliating, reddish brown bark of mature plants is attractive in winter. It can be particularly effective when grown against building walls where it can easily attach and cling to the surface. Use this plant for climbing on arbors, fences or the trunks of large trees, and over low stone walls. It also can be grown as a ground cover in shady areas or on steep embankments. ... additional information
Honeysuckle - Gold Net The Honeysuckle 'Gold Net', 'Lonicera japonica 'Aureo-Reticulata', is unlike most Honeysuckle grown today. It is noted for its highly unusual oakleaf-shaped, lime-green and gold veined variegated foliage. The small scented yellow flowers will appear in the spring but they are inconspicuous. This Honeysuckle is quite versatile as it can twine up a wall, fence, or trellis, or mound or sprawl as shrubs and ground cover. In the south, it can be known to be rampant and may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. In the Pacific Northwest, it will be more restrained and can climb more than twelve feet, unlike many other species. It is usually grown as a climbing vine, but it can also be grown as a groundcover creeper, or it can be hung from baskets & containers, or over garden walls. |
