Notes

'Miranda' climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala 'Miranda') is a vine for specimen use and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average moisture. Yellow-cream edges frame the variegated leaves, and fragrant white flowers open from late spring to early summer. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first.

Pairs well with Western sword fern, Red trillium, and Liverleaf.
