Plant delivered with a stem and two blackened buds. It never developed. Disappointed given the price. Especially since I've had many beautiful successes with Promesse de Fleurs.

Description
Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris 'Silver Lining' is a unique climbing hydrangea. It bears variegated deciduous foliage of grey and white. It uses its climbing roots to attach itself to walls or bare tree trunks. It can take 3 years before it climbs. During that time, it establishes its roots. In early summer, it produces a magnificent flowering in white lace umbels, which remain decorative when drying on the plant. Ideal for north or west exposures, this plant fears sunburn and appreciates fertile, deep soil, that is not too dry and not too chalky.
Native to Japan and northeastern Asia, Hydrangea anomalis subsp. petiolaris is a climbing bush of the Hydrangeaceae family. In its natural environment, the forests of Asia, this woody plant grows up to 15m (49ft) in height, but rarely exceeds 5 to 7m (16 to 23ft) in our climates.
'Silver Lining' has deciduous grey and white variegated foliage, with ovate leaves with serrated edges. It produces robust and ramified woody stems, up to 3 to 4m (10 to 13ft) in height, which present a very interesting architecture. With age, they crack, and their bark peels off in spectacular shreds, giving the plant an attractive appearance even in winter. A creeping bush with a strong covering power, it is also a climber that clings thanks to climbing roots. Without support it will not exceed 1.5m (5ft) and will form a dense bush. Its growth is a bit slow at the juvenile stage. It flowers in May-June, even in the shade. Its nectariferous flowers, in large umbels reaching sometimes 20cm (8in) in diameter, are flat, white, with a light but sweet fragrance. They transform this bush into a pastoral and vaporous mass. They do not wilt but dry slowly on the plant, adopting subtle green shades before browning. Its foliage takes on a pretty golden hue in autumn.
'Silver Lining' can be used in the background, to cover a north wall, or dress up an old dead tree. It also proves to be an excellent ground cover, very useful for retaining sloping soils. It pairs well with shrubby fuchsias (magellanica) for example, or low-demand ground cover plants such as Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegata', Alchemilla mollis, Geranium macrorrhizum, hostas, or Tiarella. It can be paired with annual or perennial climbers such as morning glories or sweet peas (in a slightly sunny exposure). In all cases, plant in a sunny to semi-shady exposure, in moist soil. It can also be pruned to obtain a flat shape.

Planting and care
Plant in a north or east exposure, in deeply worked, humus-rich soil, without excess lime. If you plant in an east exposure, remember to water regularly in the first few years as the young plant will generally receive little water. A good base fertiliser (horn or dehydrated blood) will promote the recovery of your plant and nourish it without risk of burning. If your soil is dry, incorporate some turf into the soil and plan for a watering basin on the surface. You can mulch the roots in summer to keep them cool, and water regularly if the summer is very dry. After a few years, this plant should be able to manage on its own. If pruning becomes necessary to limit its development, do so when the leaves fall. Remove the faded inflorescences in autumn. Eliminate branches that grow perpendicular to the axis of the wall or poorly placed shoots. Ensure that the plant does not damage the roof or gutters.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
