Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Teller known for it's occasional double rows of florets This hot new plant is the best red lacecap we've seen since Macrophylla Kardinal. In acidic soil, this variety is a show-stopping deep purple. The dark green leaves are slightly glossy and are plentiful around strong upright stems. This is a great cut flower, very unusual for lacecap hydrangeas. Don't miss this variety!
