Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Crystal Chandelier panicle hydrangea was seen growing in Mike Dirr's garden on a tour with members of the American Hydrangea Society in early July 2017. The group oohed and aahed, so I took that as my cue to propagate ASAP. Dirr gave it a name and we're off to the races. The panicles are a little more open and airy than Chantilly Lace and the flowers are also mixed fertile and sterile flowers. Likewise, when we went back for cuttings it was buzzing with bees pollinating the flowers. Last summer in zone 8a, the flowers didn't antique at all, but maybe they will blush pink in cooler zones. We have some grown as single trunks so you can train as a standard, others are multiple-stemmed, so please request which type you'd like when you order.
