This hardy, strong
growing hydrangea delivers loads of big blooms that emerge lime green, change
to white and then to green. The big flower heads are held up by
sturdy stems that don’t droop, even after a heavy rain. This sturdy variety
won’t flop over like ‘Annabelle’ and so maintains a tidy appearance
throughout the season.
Useful as a mass planting or incorporated into a woodland setting.
Largely trouble-free, it has few pests or diseases. It is a hardy hydrangea
that blooms on new wood, so even if killed to the ground by extreme weather
it will still produce summer flowers.
The blooms are extremely
attractive both in the landscape and as a cut flower. A good choice for both fresh and dried arrangements.
