Hydrangea aspera ‘Titania’

A unique and extremely exciting form of the species, found in the wild in China. The foliage is large, heart-shaped, dark-green and with blood-red veins, midribs and petioles, to 32 x 22cm. The large lacecap flowers have lilac fertile flowers surrounded by huge white outer florets up to 8cm across and with deeply serrated margins. This seems to be best suited to milder gardens.
