Surface for climbing hydrangea?

hiztreebuff asked:

I want to plant a climbing hydrangea out front. I have vinyl siding. Can it climb it? I have Boston Ivy climbing out back and it doesn’t seem to harm the vinyl. Do they climb the same way?

  1. Woody Says:

    Hydrangea Petiolaris,the climbing form climbs by the aid of adhesive tendrils,which adhere best to a slightly rough surface such as brickwork or untreated timber.
    It’s likely to find difficulty in clinging to the glossy surface of vinyl,perhaps use a wooden trellis slightly clear of the siding,which the hydrangea would conceal.
