Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is our own homegrown sport from 'Nikko Blue.' Koby is named after our Foreman's basketball crazy son. Can you tell what his favorite team is? Laker fans unite! This large growing hydrangea has the biggest flower in our garden. It surpassed even Goliath and Paris in bloom size over the last few years. It will require lots of shade to keep the wonderful pale blue or pink blooms from scorching in the afternoon sun. The leaves are more tapered in shape, a bit more rough to the touch and more lime green than other cultivars.
