It's easy to understand the enduring appeal of climbing hydrangeas. The abundant combination of foliage and white flowers is often used for covering specific areas of fences and, in some cases, the wall of a house. However, in Martha's case, they are used to cover tree trunks.
'I planted my first climbing hydrangeas on my farm to cover the trunks of the large sugar maples and spruce trees growing near the houses,' the lifestyle mogul says. 'In several years, the trunks were totally concealed, and they now look like what I envision the woodland did in William Henry Hudson's novel Green Mansions.'
