Nursery contributed plant descriptions

White Wave is a hefty white lacecap hydrangea that produces waves and waves of flowers - it's heavy flowering. Hefty and heavy and super stylish, kinda like a friend who wears white garments all summer long. A natty dresser, is the term. Oh, and look at the leaf in the picture. The dark green leaves are a cut above, literally, they have more serrations than most Hydrangea macrophylla (Madame Emile Mouillere is also a cut above this way). The flowers are typically described as pearly white, which I'm interpreting literally too. My pearl (yes, my ONE pearl) is not pure white, it has a faint pink tint to it in certain light. The fertile florets of White Wave bigleaf hydrangea are white and mature pinkish white in alkaline soils and bluish white in acidic soils. Likewise, the fertile flowers are either pink or blue - the fertile flowers being more vividly colored than the sepals. The flowers start out light green, open in the pearly ways described, then again age to light green. White Wave is not one of the compact or smaller hydrangeas. It's vigorous and stems are strong - the leaf picture shows how the current year's stems are slightly mottled. This will easily become a 5-6' tall bush

A show-winning white color and form for the garden. This is a well documented beauty. Enjoy its flawless lacecap white blooms on a plant that is lush and attractive. The central flower of blue or pink is surrounded by eight very large and beautifully formed white ray-flowers. Grow this one in light sun only. In full flower this hydrangea is one of the most decorative sights in the garden.
