Hydrangea serrata Glyn Church

Hydrangea serrata Glyn Church

Hydrangea serrata Glyn Church

One of my favourite white hydrangeas. The tidy mophead flowers open cream, become pure white gradually taking on a pink tinge then red then red wine or green depending on light levels. This variety usually produces a second flush of blooms in late summer. Best in light shade. (Was previously known as H. Imperatrice Eugenie)
