Hydrangea scandens subsp. chinensis f. macrosepala

A distinct, rarely seen or grown species from the Far East, making a deciduous shrub to 1.5m tall with very slim, willow-like, dark-green, toothed leaves. In this form lacecaps with fewer, particularly large, white, frilly edged outer florets surround soft yellow fertile florets. For a semi-shaded position in any fairly reasonable soil; best with a humusy mulch.
