The intriguing, finely cut, purple-black foliage of 'Black Lace' recalls the exotic Japanese maple or a rare Cimicifuga as opposed to the easy-to-care-for Elderberry. Midsummer brings massive clusters of diamond-sized florets in pure white with a pink blush that emits a surprising light lemon scent. Adaptable to most growing conditions and hardy all the way to Zone 4, making it a better choice than Japanese maple for many areas. A dramatic accent for the full sun to partly shaded garden, brought to us by Ken Tobutt and Jacqui Prevette of East Malling, England.

[Hydrangea serrata 'Iyono-usuzumi']A new and rarely offered hydrangea from Japan known for its inky black flowers (certainly ôintensifiedö in photographs in Japanese horticultural publications). The heads of flowers of this hydrangea are relatively small though for those with further breeding in mind, this new departure in flower color will offer plenty of inspiration. Full sun or light shade in any draining, acidic soil. Learm More about Heronswood Hydrangeas, their care and pruning Ships in a 4" inch container. Approx. 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 3 7/8" (25.8 cu.
