A relatively new form of this hardy and tolerant, dwarf, evergreen shrub from W. China. The leaves differ from the norm by being narrow with a long pointed tip, but the flowers are typically small, white, deliciously fragrant and borne en masses in the depths of winter. Very easy to please, in sun or shade, acid or alkaline soil.
ItÆs a real pleasure to encounter a standout sport of a well-established variety. This lovely find of the dwarf form of æPee WeeÆ was discovered by Peter Catt of the United Kingdom. After first emerging bright golden-yellow, the foliage morphs to a pleasing chartreuse over the course of the season. And, come autumn, it furnishes a display of brilliant red. An exceptional find.
A spectacular selection shared with us by Mark Fillan of England, with enormous 1 ft. heads of mauve-blue flowers opening from pink buds, surrounded by white bracts in mid-summer, nestled amidst a marvel of large felted green foliage to 10ö in length. Best in partial to bright shade, provide adequate water during the growing season. Indeed, quite rare in cultivation in the United States.
A particularly free-flowering form of this Hydrangea species with a close affinity (as Hydrangea aspera is a rather broad and variable taxon) to Hydrangea aspera ssp. aspera. Long and narrow velvety felted foliage to 8ö along stems to 6 ft. x 6 ft. and mid- to late summer heads of mauve flowers surrounded by creamy colored florets. Best in brightly shaded situations in any well-draining yet moist, humus-rich soil. Learm More about Heronswood Hydrangeas, their care and pruning Ships in a 4" inch container. Approx. 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 3 7/8" (25.8 cu. In. soil volume).
We are again able to offer this rarity that we first observed in private collections in England; later again in Japan where it originated. Fully double florets of pink, suffused with tints of green, compose large heads more reminiscent of a precious Begonia than Hydrangea, with handsome, soft green felted leaves as foil. Will ultimately produce a small shrub to 4 ft. x 4 ft., in bright shade with adequate moisture.
Synonymous with Hydrangea æBlue WaveÆ, this offers blue to pink, large ray florets produced in late summer, lovely in semishade to shade. The intensely blue stamens of this hydrangea selection, when shed from the flowers, turns the ground beneath to a scene of caerulean snow.
