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.
