From the Yamaguchi Nursery in Japan and shared with us by Ted Stephens of Nurseries Caroliniana, this evergreen hydrangea relative has larger, shinier leaves than the species and more abundant purple blue berries that decorate the plant through fall and winter. Small shrub, to under 3' x 3', with pale blue flowers in spring followed by those stunning berries and purple tones in the stems and older leaves as temperatures fall. Best in bright, cool shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8, possibly upper zone 7 with protection. Wonderful pot plant.
