Climbing Hydrangea
It can be particularly effective when grown against building walls where it can easily attach and cling to the surface. It also can be grown as a ground cover in shady areas or on steep embankments. The exfoliating, reddish brown bark of mature plants is attractive in winter. The Climbing Hydrangea vine is an extremely versatile vine with year-round interest. This plant is slow to establish, but quite vigorous thereafter. 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. Use this plant for climbing on arbors, fences or the trunks of large trees, and over low stone walls.

Honeysuckle - Gold Net 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. In the south, it can be known to be rampant and may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. 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 Pacific Northwest, it will be more restrained and can climb more than twelve feet, unlike many other species. 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. The Honeysuckle 'Gold Net', 'Lonicera japonica 'Aureo-Reticulata', is unlike most Honeysuckle grown today. |
