The Climbing Hydrangea vine is an extremely versatile vine with year-round interest. It also can be grown as a ground cover in shady areas or on steep embankments. The yellow fall foliage is another feature of this plant. Climbing Hydrangea is one of the best vines for clinging to brick or stone walls. The exfoliating, reddish brown bark of mature plants is attractive in winter. Use this plant for climbing on arbors, fences or the trunks of large trees, and over low stone walls. This plant is slow to establish, but quite vigorous thereafter.

It has whitish-yellow flowers with a delightful fragrance.
