A rare and unusual evergreen hydrangea-like shrub with deep green quilted foliage which is topped by clusters of blue blooms from summer to fall. Easy to grow and an excellent choice for shaded gardens. Item # 9312.

This is a hardy herbaceous Hydrangea relative from SE Asia which we have growing in our shade garden. Herbaceous in our climate anyway as the winter takes the stems to the ground but strong new growth each spring produces pinkish flowers followed by pinkish fruit.
