The inflorescence of the HYDRANGEA is in a panicle shape, meaning that the flowers grow in clusters on a central stalk. This creates a beautiful arrangement of blooms that add depth and texture to the overall appearance of the plant.
The HYDRANGEA has a deciduous leaf type, meaning that its leaves fall off during the winter months. The leaves are ovate or egg-shaped, with a dark green color as the main hue. This creates a striking contrast against the white flowers, further enhancing the visual appeal of the plant.
In terms of soil pH requirements, the HYDRANGEA can adapt to various conditions. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil, ranging from pH 4.5 to 7.5. This versatility allows it to thrive in a wide range of garden environments.

Moisture is an important factor for the HYDRANGEA's growth and health. It requires well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging, but also needs consistent moisture to thrive. Striking the right balance between drainage and moisture is crucial for the optimal growth and development of the plant.
