Climbing hydrangea, Clydebank

218

West Dunbartonshire and Clydebank

Climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris), growing on a wall of the disused former John Brown's industrial site, Clydebank.
This plant is native to Japan, Korea, and Mainland China where it grows up tree trunks. It is shade tolerant, and its ability to grow up walls and rocks makes it a popular plant for horticulturalists. The plant is cultivated in Europe and North America.
It climbs via fine rootlets which affix the main upright stem to the substrate. The leaves are heart-shaped, have long petioles and vary in density depending on growth conditions. The flowers grow in terminal inflorescences about 15cm in diameter. The inflorescence consists of several hundred fertile flowers in the centre, surrounded by a border of sterile flowers.
The plant is non-invasive and can be cut back if it becomes obstructive. It does not damage walls (like Hedera helix) and its method of climbing simply leaves behind a sticky residue.
It is often treated as a subspecies of Hydrangea anomala.
