'Roseum' is a woody, deciduous, self-clinging climber with heart-shaped leaves and flattened clusters of creamy-white flowers, surrounded by ovate, white bracts that mature to rosy pink as the flowering season progresses. Perfect for training against a wall or fence, it’s initially slow-growing but quickly catches up once established.
How to care for Hydrangea hydrangeoides var. hydrangeoides Roseum:
Plant at least 60cm (24in) away from a host plant, fence or wall. Tie in to a support and train until established. After flowering cut back the flowered shoots to within 2-4 buds of the permanent framework of the plant. In cooler, northern parts of the U.K., 'Roseum' will grow in a sunny position. In southern areas with hot summers, partial shade is preferable.
