Hydrangea serrata 'Blue Deckle'

Fabulous hydrangea, small and compact, to only 3.5 ft tall, the abundant flowers pale blue with hints of white and hints of pink -- bluer with acid soil. More lacecap than mophead, these were developed by hydrangea expert Michael Haworth-Booth as a dwarf alternative to H. macrophylla 'Generale Vicomtesse de Vibraye'. Blooms from June/July into autumn when flowers turn towards green with purplish undersides while the leaves take on colors of red and purple. Very nice, very easy in rich, well-drained soil with summer water and nutrients.
