Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also known as Little Geisha. I acquired this plant from a few sources, under different names, and you sort of slap your forehead when it dawns on you - same plant! I acquired from our friends at Wilkerson Mill under the name of Maiko but from an Oregon nursery under the name Little Geisha. A quick search and come to find maiko is an apprentice geisha. Awesome mophead like blooms on a wonderful compact habit just perfect for your little garden or container.

Another in the ever-increasing series of lovely lacecaps, this small hydrangea, to 4-5 ft, has slightly purple-hued leaves and, beginning in June, blue fertile flowers surrounded by deep-lavender sterile flowers aging in late season to nearly copper overlaid with blue. A pleasing contrast as the leaves turn ever more purple and then golden in November. For the light woodland garden in decent drainage with some summer moisture where dry. Frost hardy to USDA zone 6, possibly lower.
