[Hydrangea macrophylla 'Libelle']Striking white plate-like lacecap inflorescences to 8ö across with rounded sepals, this is another of the fine Teller hybrid hydrangeas from Germany. In extremely acidic conditions, the flowers will transform to a light blue; equally choice in form and substance.

The Taiwanese form of this deciduous species, with large, grayish green felted foliage and enormous heads of creamy white flowers surrounded by large tear-shaped bracts, along self-clinging stems to 50 ft. or more. This was rather common at moderate elevations where it was often found growing with Pileostegia viburnoides, another climbing Hydrangea relative. Certainly more tender than the more commonly encountered S. hydrangeoides, this deserves some overhead protection, in light shade and moist but well-drained soil.

Pure white, obscenely large conical heads with large sterile florets with rounded sepals completely concealing the fragrant fertile florets; one of the largest, if not showiest of the Hydrangea paniculatas we have cultivated. Absolutely stunning in our woodland with sturdy stems rising to 10 ft. or more over time. Suited to full sun or partially shaded situations.

This rare cultivar shows lovely pewter mottling on each heart-shaped leaf. In midsummer, large, lacy heads of hydrangea-like flowers form along its self-adhering stems, providing a dazzling, truly moonlit display. Perfect for illuminating dark, difficult sites. Easily covers walls on the north side of the home or trunks of large trees.

We are delighted to enter into cultivation a beguiling mophead form of the ever beautiful Hydrangea aspera from a plant I collected in Sichuan Province in 1998. The velvety long and narrow foliage of this species, carried on a rounded framework to 8 ft., is almost handsome enough to merit growing it, however things get really interesting as it begins to flower in mid- to late summer. The full rounded heads of flowers begin in deep tones of green, ultimately producing blousy heads of ivory colored flowers with pinkish overtones, and then fading back to green. Though mophead flowered forms of this species have been reported in the past, and perhaps introduced to cultivation, this is to our knowledge the only one of its kind currently in cultivation. It is named for the Buddhist temple of the same name, near where this plant was found.

A striking, new hydrangea offering for us with large and lustrous foliage, offering a perfect foil to precious and rather large lacecaps. Creamy white sepals blushed with mother-of-pearl pink surround pink fertile florets. This color will be more intense in alkaline soil; certainly transitioning to blue in acidic soil.
