Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Producing its irregular flower heads of white to coral-pink or pale-blue on shrubs from 1' to 4', this unusual and uncommon mini-shrub encloses its flowers in a whorl of bracts. PSh/M
When everything in your garden looks hot and tired, this hydrangea starts to shine. Huge flower buds appear in early August, followed by large lacecap flowers. White sterile florets surround lacey powder blue fertile flowers. Large fuzzy leaves just add to the drama. Make great cuts, too.
