RE: White Climbing hydrangea


I planted one is April.  It has not done a thing.  Do they take awhile to
get
established?  I am in Connecticut, zone 6-but have my own microclimate.  I
planted it in partial shade/sun and the soil has been amended.  I have read
they take a long time to get going.  I just want to make sure I have it in a
good place, if not I will make plans to move it next season.

I'm new to climbing hydrangeas.  This is year two.  I put in a small one --
about 10" of growth -- in late spring 1997 at the base of a large birch
stump in mostly shade.  The first year it attached itself to the stump but
didn't **grow** at all.  This year it grew about 18" and sent out 5-6 good
healthy shoots but no blooms.  (I'm in BC Canada, Zone 6-8 -- many micros!)

I'd give it another season before finding a new home.

Regards, Donna.
