Golden Crane® Hydrangea

Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou'

Sku #6383

This rare and precocious shrub, with large lacecaps of white and chartreuse not only blooms in late spring - among the earliest of all hydrangeas to bloom - but is sweetly scented, a trait very rare in this genus. The jasmine-like scent will perfume an entire garden! A superb selection by Dan Hinkley from seed collected in Sichuan Province, China.
