    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Cistus introduction, a fabulous sport of H. macrophylla 'Lemon Wave' that we have been perfecting for some years, selected for its green leaves with wide, gold-yellow margins and, sometimes thin, silver centers. Lacecap flowers are pale blue (in acid soil), blooming in July and lasting into autumn. A large-leaf hydrangea, to 3-6' tall and wide, and definitely as robust as 'Lemon Wave'. Has not sunburned in our experience but best in part shade with reliable summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
