Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Lanarth White’

A tremendous, compact hydrangea for tough spots, award-winning Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Lanarth White’ features flattened, lacecap flower heads composed of large, pure white, sterile sepals radiating around a central cluster of tiny, mauve-pink fertile florets. Sometimes, the sepals are aligned in 2 rows and the blossoms almost resemble those of Mophead Hydrangeas. Blooming from early summer until fall, the profuse blossoms are beautifully framed by the foliage of broadly ovate, luminescent, pale green leaves. Perfect for small gardens and containers!
