This is a fantastic hydrangea which features the most beautiful display of flowers from midsummer to autumn. The flowers open up from lime green buds and start life with a green-cream colour; they then mature to cream and then finally have a creamy pink blush in early autumn. Aside from the flowers, the leaves are also of great interest; they are lime green in colour and finely serrated at their edges and they make the perfect foil for the large flower heads. This deciduous shrub looks great at the back of a mixed border and it also works well as an informal flowering hedge.
