Notes
'Klaveren' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Klaveren') is a shrub for cut flowers, hedges, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows at a rapid rate and has an erect habit. Blooms open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Aureola Japanese forest grass, Lady fern, and River birch.
