hydrangea 'Shirotae'

A slow-growing, deciduous shrub to 70cm high, with narrowly ovate, serrated green leaves that are tinted with purple and bronze, and turn red and orange in autumn. In summer, loose lace-cap type flower heads bear clusters of tiny cream-coloured fertile flowers, with larger, double white florets held on short, delicate stems around the edges. Flowers may be spotted with pink as they age
