A graceful white mophead aptly named, The White Swan. This may be our favorite white flowering macrophylla with pure white blooms on a medium sized shrub. Interesting elongated leaves make us wonder about the origin. White blooms fade slowly pink or blue as the bloom ages.

Prolific flowers; vigorous growth make this one of the most worthwhile white 'hortensias' (C.Mallet)... but who could resist a "swan" in any case! White "snowballs" (sometimes tinged pink) on med shrub. SUN-PSh/Med
