Noted for its distinct, boldly lobed leaves and very showy blooms, this award-winner hydrangea is a deciduous shrubs that provides a long season of interest. It features dense, conical flower heads, up to 8", packed with large white florets taking on delightful, pink tinges as fall approaches. An improved species with larger and more numerous sterile florets that provide a more dense, solid appearance. Beautiful fall color. Slower growing than 'Alice'. Tan-brown exfoliating bark is attractive in the winter. Performs best in moist, well-drained soil. Since this hydrangea flowers on the previous years growth it should be pruned shortly after flowering is complete. Attracts bees and other pollinators. Brenda has one near her backyard patio and loves it.
