Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large, lovely rose-pink to wine-red lace-cap flowers: ?petals? (actually infertile flowers) around the outside of a tufted (fertile flowers) center, top the sturdy stems of this 4-6' shrub. S-PSh/M (not dry) acid for blue
An elegant eye catcher in lacecap bloom. Commonly called Teller Red Lacecap in the United States, the rose colored blooms are only equaled in size and radiance by very close Teller relatives. This is a stout growing plant like its sibling, Blaumeise. Soil sensitive, this plant needs neutral soil to produce its rare rose color. Her ring of large sterile flowers is always changing as she ages. We have people visit us just to photograph this variety in our garden. Feature this unusual hydrangea alone, or in a group. Breathtaking!
