Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We found this lovely plant at Far Reaches Farm (Port Townsend, WA) The glossy foliage makes a great background for the large sterile flowers and fertile lace cap type flowers.

By: Gossler Farms

In our never-ending search for new hydrangeas, especially the evergreens.... this mid elevation species from Taiwan provides horizontal, rounded, glossy green leaves and rounded, flattened heads of fertile flowers surrounded by white to the palest pink, sterile bracts, over 1", appearing to float amid the dark green background. In our garden it has remained evergreen and rewarding, having only suffered during the dry, 20ºF cold spell of 2003. A plant for dappled shade in a protected corner, provided plentiful moisture and out of drying wind. Upper end of USDA zone 8; will recover from a bit lower if mulched.
