Hydrangea arborescens

A deciduous shrub known for large, white, globe-shaped flower heads. Hardy, easy to grow, and blooms on new wood, meaning it can be pruned aggressively without sacrificing blooms the following year.

–  3-5 feet tall and wide
–   Thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if soil moisture is maintained
–  Blooms summer
–  Prefers well-drained, moist soil.
–  Rounded, mounding habit, spreading outwards to form a bushy shape. Spreads through rhizomes. Prune unwanted sprouts or divide to help manage spread.
