(Syn: H. involucrata ‘Blue Bunny’)
Hydrangea
Climbing Hydrangea
The name Hydrangea, means “water vessel,” given for its cup-shaped seed capsules. A genus of diverse forms, Hydrangeas are commonly found throughout Asia, from the Himalayas to Taiwan and Japan, with the exception of two species, Hydrangea arborescens and Hydrangea quercifolia, which are native to North America. Easily cultivated, this shrub’s lush deciduous leaves are best suited to loose, moist soil in the shade of tall trees or on the north side of the house.
Paying homage to its late Dutch creator, this lovely, reliable lacecap is closely allied to Hydrangea aspera, a much larger relation. Borne on new wood, big acorn-shaped green buds unfurl a prolific late season parade of soft-looking, fertile bluish lavender flowers surrounded by sterile 4-sepaled white blooms, some infused with the palest blue. Somewhat fuzzy, slender-pointed and finely serrated matte green leaves cloak the medium-sized foundation that’s well-suited for smaller-scaled gardens. Partial shade plus organic-laden, adequately moist soil ensure vigorous growth and ethereal long-lasting floral effects. (pp#21,991)
