LACECAP... HYDRANGEA
I photographed it like this so you really see the intricate structure. From my garden.
Rich, dark blue centres of this dainty lacecap variety of the popular shrub are encircled by paler finish white large florets, the two together show each other off in spectacular fashion.
Hydrangea serrata also has dramatic green-bronze leaves which turn to darker shades of red and purple during the autumn, helping to add yet further interest to your garden.
Hardy enough to withstand our winter weather but compact enough to also be grown in a container, these hydrangeas are well worth adding to your garden.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words 'hydro' or water, and 'angeion' or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
In French and Flemish: Hortense, Hortensia, like the female name!
