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.

Straight from the slopes of Japan’s Mt. Kiyosumi comes this spectacular deciduous Hydrangea acclaimed for its classy pink lacecaps and lavish burgundy and henna-flushed new growth. Springing from ruby-red buds, the rosy picotee sterile florets are narrowly rimmed in red and eventually fade to white atop a compact rounded bushy habit. Broad mature dark green foliage that’s highlighted with prominent veins garbs the purple spotted stems. Medium sized and undemanding, ‘Kiyosumi’ lends dazzling accents to any shady spot, especially when planted behind Parahebe linifolia.

Blooms July–September
