Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This variety produces large mophead style flowers on a 4' by 4' plant. The color can be blue or pink depending on the ph of soil. The more acidic the soil the darker blue and the more alkaline the more pink. A old-fashion favorite. Great for any garden.

Large blue blooms on this prolific plant. One of the favorites in the nursery for years, this small shrub will surpass Enziandom as the favorite blue in no time. This very unusual and rare variety of hydrangea has not been available in the USA until we introduced it (we think). This beauty is the darkest of blues in acidic soil and deep pink in neutral. This variety is a great container plant due to its small but sturdy stature. The large heads are very uncharacteristic on such a compact plant.
