New and different!, this compact 3' rounded shrub produces magnificent 6" heads of double sterile white flowers surrounded by a ?chandelier? lace-cap of hanging flowers, a ?waterfall? of white. PSh/M (not dry) acid

By: Forestfarm

Pure white, double, star-shaped flowers are the main attraction on this deciduous shrub. The showy flowers surround the inner sterile flowers of the lacecap and appear to be shooting out like a star. Growth Rate medium to fast

Full double white flowers bubble up and cascade down to create a statement. Oh hydrangeamania! Deciduous shrub 4' x 4'

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

A new deciduous lacecap hydrangea whose long-lasting, star-shaped blooms emerge white, then fade into a pretty green hue. Best planted in part shade inland, or full sun along the coast, and in most, well-drained soil with added organic matter or peat moss. Mature shrubs will spread to a nice 6' x 6', providing cut flowers to bring inside and display in vases or dried in bundles. Fertilize regularly spring through fall. Prune in winter to control plant size and shape. Frost hardy to USDA zone 5. Hydrangeaceae

White lacecap hydrangea, loose semi-double blooms

By: Nasketucket Gardens

A starry cascade of layered sterile florets on long slender pedicels and small round fertile flowers hallmarks the white softly domed heads, each shaped like a unique hybrid between a lacecap and a mop head. Delivering fluid illuminated accents similar to exploding fireworks, and a repeat autumn bloom, the 12 in. wide gossamer-styled flowers are set against large lustrous dark green deciduous leaves with serrated margins and a waxy finish. Well-known in its Japanese homeland, though rarely offered here, this phenomenal Hydrangea makes an enduring artful choice for the shrubby border, a dynamic sweep or a big terra-cotta pot.

Cascades of double white blooms This lacecap offering is absolutely fantastic. This easy to bloom hydrangea is just starting to be available in US nurseries but it is still very hard to find. The white lacecap blooms have double sepals that cascade over deep, dark tapered leaves giving a wonderful waterfall effect. Once thought to be a Serrata due to its origins in Asia, the leaves are just too deep and rich in color to be anything but a big leaf macrophylla. Everyone must have the Fuji Waterfall hydrangea for a container or shade garden. Possibly the same as Hanabi™ and Shooting Star™.

By: Hydrangeas Plus

Unusual lacecap type hydrangea with doubled white petals in 6-7” clusters cascading over the dark, lush green foliage. Five foot deciduous shrubs enjoy morning sun and decent soil on the acidic side & regular moisture. One of the most elegant Hydrangeas and no worries about “pinking or bluing”!
