How Do You Grow Climbing Hydrangea On A Trellis?
Hydrangea will attach themselves to structures. The feelers of the vines are capable of clinging to surfaces, which allows the vine to climb. However, the feelers often leave a sticky residue on the object it grows on, and the plant will cause damage to untreated wood. The vine can grow up to 50 feet in height, and needs cut back to contain it to one area. A sturdy trellis provides support for the hydrangea and allows it to spread its vines and flowers without having to worry about damage to any other structures around your home. Buy a large hydrangea plant. They tend to grow slow, and will not bloom for 2 to 3 years if planted from a seed. Look for hydrangea plants that have bright vines, and do not have yellow or decaying leaves. Plant the hydrangea in well-drained and loamy soil. The hydrangea need afternoon shade, but they will also need sunlight to grow. The hydrangea grows best in zones 4 to 7, and on the north and east sides of homes.
