Bed H:  Plant 12

(syn. Brido)

A very showy cultivar and deservedly popular.  The double flowers are most distinctive, one of my favourite cultivars of any oak-leaf hydrangea.  Each individual double flower continues to grow from the centre, producing new bracts on top of the older ones which turn pink. The 15 inch panicles thus always have fresh flowers and an interesting two colour effect as the older bracts age.
