Climbing hydrangeas are superb deciduous vines for sun or part shade

Climbing hydrangeas (Hydrangea petiolaris, zone 4) are superb deciduous vines for sun or part shade. Summer brings white, lacecap-like flowers; peeling, red-brown bark adds winter interest. Slow starters, they eventually grow to 10 m (30 ft.) high and wide (unpruned). ‘Firefly’ is a golden variegated cultivar available from Veseys.
