Jalohortensia Wudu

Hydrangea macrophylla Wudu is a compact and bushy variety of hydrangea. Its dark green foliage forms a setting for its white ball-shaped inflorescences, from July to September. They open from light green buds, turn white, then revert to green as they fade, without turning pink in late summer.

The 10 to 15 cm diameter inflorescences are composed of single sterile florets. The deciduous foliage consists of ovate to elliptical, finely toothed leaves, 10 to 15 cm long, turning yellow before falling in autumn. The bush reaches an average of 1 m in all directions.

H. macrophylla Wudu suits a flower bed, specimen planting, or a large pot. It prefers rich, fresh, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, and partial shade. It pairs well with perennials with dark, black, or purple foliage, evergreen ferns such as Polystichum setiferum 'Plumosum Densum', hostas such as 'Empress Wu', or Astilbe 'Vision in Red'.
