Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea anomala ‘Miranda’ is a decorative and luminous climbing hydrangea, particularly prized for its variegated green leaves edged with creamy yellow and its delicate summer blooms. This vigorous climbing plant naturally adheres to walls, fences, and pergolas using its aerial roots, creating a dense and elegant plant cover over time. Its variegated deciduous foliage provides significant ornamental interest from spring, even before the appearance of its flat, creamy-white flowers, which are highly appreciated by pollinators. Well-suited to partial to light shade exposures, ‘Miranda’ stands out for its tolerance to less sunny areas of the garden. Hardy and long-lasting, it makes an excellent choice for elegantly adorning vertical surfaces in gardens.
