Enduring evergreen serrated and sculpted foliage is greeted by clusters of big, frothy, lace cap flowers from June to early September. This is an unusual and exciting woody, climbing variety of hydrangea which even saves the effort of sweeping up the foliage in autumn and offers you the perfect shrub to screen a wall or obscure a shed with its self-clinging aerial roots which climb upwards whilst not growing outwards too far. The dark, serrated leaves of Hydrangea seemannii provide a wonderful contrast for the large, domed clusters of green-white flowers which open from oval spring buds. Stems are excellent cut for long-lasting fresh flower arrangements, and when dried the blooms also make a stunning inclusion in stylish creations. In the language of flowers, Hydrangea symbolise love and peace, representing gratitude, grace and beauty. Hydrangea seemannii prefers to be grown in moist soil, humus rich soil of any kind except chalk based. Position in sun or shade of any aspect. A hardy (H4) climbing shrub which reaches a maximum height of 8-12m with a spread of 3m.
