Hydrangea heteromalla ‘Nepal Beauty’

Raised from wild collected Nepalese seed, this form makes a slow growing medium sized deciduous shrub, the large foliage flushing red and maintaining conspicuous red margins and petioles. Airy large white flat lacecap flowers from July. Reaching 2.5m in 10 years, suitable for sun or semi-shade and far more drought tolerant than H. macrophylla for example.
