Yes, climbing hydrangeas are dicots. Dicots, or dicotyledons, are a group of flowering plants whose seeds typically contain two embryonic leaves or cotyledons. Climbing hydrangeas (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris) belong to the Hydrangeaceae family, which is classified under the dicotyledonous plants. This means they exhibit characteristics common to dicots, such as net-like leaf veins, flower parts in multiples of four or five, and a taproot system. These features distinguish them from monocots, which have a single cotyledon, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of three.
