Hydrangea paniculata ‘Silver Dollar’ at Digging Dog Nursery

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.

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Silver Dollar’ (S-0876)

Each 17.50

Carefully selected by Dutch plantsman Peter Zwijnenburg, this compact AGM champ puts on the ritz as posh tightknit creamy-white trusses first unfurl with greenish tones, then develop a pink blush in late summer. Perched upon staunch dark crimson-brown stalks and pointed deep greenery, the large broadly-rounded conical heads sport mostly fertile flowers, which lend luminous accents to fresh and dried arrangements. ‘Silver Dollar’s undemanding well-branched habit makes a sterling specimen for smaller gardens, affording a long-blooming season plus textural allure.

Blooms July–October

Size: 5' 0" high x 5' 0" wide.
