Golden Crane® Hydrangea
Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou'
An exciting addition to American gardens, this precocious Hydrangea, with large lacecaps of white and chartreuse not only presents its flowers in late spring - the earliest of all Hydrangeas to blossom -- but is highly scented, a trait very rare in Hydrangeas as a whole. The jasmine-like scent will perfume an entire garden! This superb selection was made by Dan Hinkley from seed collected in Southern Sichuan Province, China.
