A new Mophead Hydrangea that blooms on new as well as old wood, making it a better choice for northern gardens. Large trusses of florets are borne all season long, rosy pink in hue if the soil ph is 6 or higher, more lavender to blue if soil pH is lower, as the picture here displays. Cooler temperatures will deepen the flower color. Grows 24-36" tall and 36-60" wide.
