This mophead Hydrangea is one of many located in the western woodland walk. Four years ago these now large plants were donated to us in four inch pots. Given adequate summer watering, these plants have thrived in the root zone of large doug firs. Certain varieties of mopheads have thicker, tougher leaves such as 'Marechal Foch', while 'Nikko Blue' is an ultra thin leafed form that isn't worth growing.
