A charming mophead hydrangea with rounded clumps of abundant, small white flowers from June and continuing to nearly September especially if deadheaded. This cultivar is a compact shrub, to only 3-5 ft tall, with dark green foliage and sturdy stems that don't bend or flop easily under the weight of heavy rain. Blooms on new wood and benefits from late winter, hard pruning. Best in morning sun with regular moisture. Frost hardy to -40, USDA zone 3.
