Description:
Gatsby Glow Ball has showy bell shaped flower panicles of pure white aging to lime green. By the end of the season, the blooms have turned papery brown. Its interesting deep, dark green foliage resembles that of oak trees, turning burgundies and reds in fall. The papery bark exfoliates when mature, providing winter interest. The blooms can be cut for floral arrangements. In terms of care, pruning is not needed. If you choose to prune to control the size, do so over several years in stages, as the pruning will cut off the flower beds for the following season. This hydrangea is a nativar to southeastern United States.
