The garden gets exciting with this plant and its large light blue overcrowded heads. Very free-flowering in filtered shade or wooded areas. Strong, long stems with pale green leaves make it super attractive and one of the best and easiest hydrangeas to dry. Cut the flowers when they have just changed color and if pink they'll go lime green - if blue they'll turn blue-green. Plant lots for your winter projects. Bred by French horticulturist Emile Mouillere in 1909. Hybrid of Otaksa and Rosea.
