Climbing Hydrangea

Hydrangea seemannii

This is one of my chain link fence hiders, which it has slowly done over the course of years. However I’m still waiting on flowers. It’s in a bit of a harsh spot with not great, very dry soil though so fixing that could help. In the meantime the big shiny leaves look great on their own.

    08/2017: I'm guessing I planted this guy in 2016? So far no flowers though it's been looking good and steadily growing.

    I've had this vine for years and it finally flowered in 2021 after the vacant lot and easement were cleared of trees, letting in a lot more light.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
