A rounded, deciduous shrub with broad, dark green leaves. Domed, lime green flower heads, up to 15cm (6") across, make a fine contrast with the foliage and gradually fade to white as the season progresses. Great for cutting and used for both fresh and dried arrangements. Hydrangea arborescens is perfectly hardy but will prefer shelter from cold, drying winds. Height and spread: 1.2m (4').
