Don't miss out on this purple stemmed beauty We acquired this plant from our friends at Wilkerson Mill Gardens and since she set foot in Oregon, she has not let us down. Deeper pigmented than most Serrata (rose pink or blurple), the show stopping feature of this hydrangea is the fabulous purple stem color.

This is the earliest hydrangea to flower in my garden. Lacecap flowers are sometimes blue, sometimes deep mauve, sometimes both, depending on the amount of rain..Red stems and clean apple green foliage make this a real winner!
