Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Hydrangea relative collected from China! We have recently been obsessed with unusual hydrangea relatives here. We acquired this one from Dan Hinkley and it's so unique. I call it Angus (because I'm not really sure how to pronounce Angustipetala). Mounding plant that looks to grow 3' or 4' with very graceful elongated green leaves. Rounded florets are white with a slightly yellow hue. Fertile flowers are butter yellow and slightly fragrant with a hint of jasmine scent. Low numbers but building our stock slowly.
