Description:Simply a stunning development in the world of hydrangeas, this variety features large, dense, upright panicles of flower heads that start out a soft lime green, fading over the summer to white before changing to pinks and Hawaiian Reds before finally turning papery brown in fall. The pinks and reds give it a punch of color in late summer. In fact, the reblooming quality of this variety leads to having all colors on the plant at once! One of the hardier selections, it offers fall interest by leaving the blooms up. These same dried papery blooms provide a lovely scene in winter, especially against the snow. Use the blooms, either fresh or dried, in an assortment of decor. Pruning is best done in late winter to earlier spring, removing about one third of the plant to shape and remove the spent blooms.
