This hydrangea is a large or medium-size shrub, sometimes a small tree, from China and Japan. It is characterised by the large cone-shaped flower heads it bares on arching stems in late summer and autumn, each head comprising a mixture of tiny fertile flowers and the large conspicuous sterile florets. Plenty of space and regular pruning are advisable.
