Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Heirloom cultivar honoring our Papa. We took cuttings from our Papa's funeral flowers and they grew into a beautiful blue hydrangea in our garden. I think it's a long lost Asian cultivar with its glossy leaves and large blooms. Blue/pink vibrant blooms fade as summer passes. Leaves are lush green that age red int he fall.
