Climbing hydrangea
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 |

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 |

Climbing hydrangea
Easy to transplant, slow to establish and become vigorous. Easily can make
30', I have seen them over 60'. They are climbers that would appreciate a trellis or some sort of structure to help them over to whatever major structure you're aiming for them to grow upon. Best used on east or north exposure in adverse climates... but will grow well anywhere from full sun to shade. A great (some say the best) vine! Dave "Cindy" wrote in message . ..

Climbing hydrangea
I have two. Hydrangea petiolaris and Schizophragma hydrangoides 'Moonlight.'
They have been in the ground for two years and have barely moved more than a foot. I'm expecting next year will be the big leap. They say first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. We shall see. I give them a few more seasons here, then they're up for grabs on the trade sector.

It depends upon culture, but they have the potential for good fall color
absolutely. Mine had turned a bright yellow on a couple of occassions, not unlike Ginkgo. Dave "Joe Morris" wrote in message ...

They bloom on the lateral branches. Expect them to bloom when the branches are about 30 inches long. |
