Hydrangea macrophylla var. serrata ‘Blue Billow’ at Digging Dog Nursery

Hydrangea

Climbing Hydrangea

The name Hydrangea, means “water vessel,” given for its cup-shaped seed capsules. A genus of diverse forms, Hydrangeas are commonly found throughout Asia, from the Himalayas to Taiwan and Japan, with the exception of two species, Hydrangea arborescens and Hydrangea quercifolia, which are native to North America. Easily cultivated, this shrub’s lush deciduous leaves are best suited to loose, moist soil in the shade of tall trees or on the north side of the house.

PREORDER FOR SPRING 2025

This compact lacecap Hydrangea deserves center stage, where its broad, light blue flowers and dense green foliage can create a colorful splash. Handsome and verdant, the glossy leaves, which are narrower than those of the species, display a tasty reddish plum hue in late summer and fall. A drift of ‘Blue Billow’ is irresistible next to Philadelphus ‘Innocence’, while golden-leafed Hakonechloa skirts below.

Blooms June–August.

Size: 4' 0" – 5' 0" high x 4' 0" wide.
