Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful variegated plant. Although sometimes confused with the other variegated varieties (Lemon Wave and Tri Color), this hydrangea is one of the best variegated plants we've ever seen. Typically, every leaf will have some variegation. The lacecap bloom will be white but ages blue or pink with the pH of the soil. The center florets will be deep blue or pink depending on the acidity of the soil. The blooms sit above the leaves only adding to the beauty. Keep the plant out of the afternoon sun to prevent sun scorch.
