Notes
'DreamCloud' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'DreamCloud') is a shrub for focal points, low hedges, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade. Bright white mophead flowers cover the compact plant and reappear in flushes through summer and into autumn. The blooms fade slowly and can age to deep pink in some climates. The dark green leaves make a good backdrop.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Bracken, and Snowdrop.
