Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bailmacsix'
Pop Star® bigleaf hydrangea
Blue or bright pink lacecap flowers provide a lighter, more open texture than traditional mopheads. Repeated flowering covers a compact mound that fits small beds and containers. The accessible fertile flowers also draw bees and butterflies during the blooming season.
