I have 2 fairly small but fast growing climbing hydrangeas. Both are about
18 inches high. I want to remove them from their current location and
place
them else while they are still small enough to handle the transplant.

How big should I expect them to get?
Do they need support of a fence or trellis?
How far apart should I plant them?
What do they prefer in the way of sunlight?
When should I expect them to bloom for the first time?

I know its a lot of questions but I have never grown these before.

TIA

Cindy

Hi Cindy I have just one climbing Hydrangea and it is doing very well in
the shade which apparently it prefers. Shade - that is only about 2 - 3
hours of dappled sunlight. Mine is about 10 years old and bloomed about 3
years after I planted it. It is 12 feet high and about 5 -6 feet wide. I
did plant a trellis for support and have been told that they do require some
support or they may tumble down when you least expect it to. The first 6
feet of mine holds onto the trellis but the rest of it is still clinging to
the rough stucco of our house. I live in Vancouver so the growing season
allows more rapid growth than what I got in Edmonton when I had a garden
there. Good luck and I hope this helps. Jean
