Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a vigorous, deciduous shrub to 10-20' with equal spread. Dark green, oval leaves, to 6" Has large 8" tall conical panicles of white fertile flowers and large white sterile flowers tinged with pink. Blooms appear in late summer and early autumn on new wood. Prune in spring by cutting back previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the woody framework, this will help obtain larger flower heads. This is a drought tolerant plant and will take more sun than H. macrophylla. Plant in moist, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade.
