Climbing Hydrangea

The yellow fall foliage is another feature of this plant. It also can be grown as a ground cover in shady areas or on steep embankments. It can be particularly effective when grown against building walls where it can easily attach and cling to the surface. This plant is slow to establish, but quite vigorous thereafter.
