Choose Climbing Hydrangea if you want a flowering vine for shade on a wall, fence, or mature tree; the tradeoff is patience, because it takes time to settle in before it really climbs.
Buy This If
You need a shade-tolerant climber.
You want white summer flowers.
You have a strong permanent support.
Skip This If
You need quick coverage.
Your wall surface is fragile.
The site dries out often.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
Once established, it gives shaded vertical spaces a full, finished look that few flowering vines can match.
Growth Rate
C+
It is slow to get started, so do not buy it for instant coverage.
Maintenance
B
It needs early guidance and occasional pruning, but it is not a fussy plant once rooted.
Deer Resistance
C
Hydrangeas aren't deer-resistant, but they aren't a deer favorite either. Deer may nibble tender new growth and flower buds, so protect plants where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
C
It can work in a narrow footprint, but only if there is enough vertical room and a strong support.
Screening Value
B-
It can cover a structure well over time, but it is too slow for urgent privacy needs.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this only when the support is permanent and the customer understands the slow start. It is a long-term plant, not a quick cover-up.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need a trellis?
Usually no, once it attaches, but young plants may need help getting started.
Will it grow in shade?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose it.
Can it damage a wall?
Avoid loose mortar, weak wood, or siding you may need to paint or repair.
Why buy hydrangeas and shrubs in the fall
Roots grow into November in warm soil
Far less watering than a summer planting
Fuller growth and stronger bloom next summer
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
