Everyone knows the hydrangea as a flowering pot plant for the windowsill or as a medium-sized perennial in the flower bed. If the hydrangea feels comfortable and is allowed to grow in the same location for many years with optimal care, it can develop into magnificent bushes.

Garden hydrangeas can reach heights of up to three meters. With its adhesive roots, the climbing hydrangea climbs house walls and trees and can grow several meters high.
