This
Hardy Hydrangea is truly incredible…the blooms are 12 – 16
inches long and cover the plant completely. It blooms
regardless of climate, soil, pH or pruning. The blooms are
the largest that we have ever seen. It looks like the plants
on steroids because it’s just blooming crazy.
An
excellent choice as a specimen plant or in creating an
intense flowering hedge. You can’t go wrong with this
superior introduction. It blooms on new growth and the
blooms are incredibly large. I bet that it makes a great cut
stem as well.
Available at better Garden Centers and from Park Seed
