Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the finest of all hydrangea lacecaps. An unusually strong and hardy grower, this distinctive plant will bloom with beautifully shaped blue flowers in acid soils. Numerous large ray flowers circle the tiny center flowers amongst the supporting dark green foliage. When grown in light shade there are few flowering shrubs of any kind which can equal this beauty.
