Climbing Hydrangea (Decumaria barbara)
Climbing Hydrangea is a deciduous vine that may climb 30 to 40 feet. The leaves are opposite with a smooth margin and pale underside. The bark is reddish to gray-brown with numerous thin, aerial rootlets. In early summer, small, creamy white, fragrant flowers are borne on rounded 2- to 4-inch terminal clusters. The vine produces a brown, urn-shaped, ribbed capsule that matures in early fall.
WildlifeFlowers are attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
