Felicity Hydrangea

Just when you thought you'd seen everything in hydrangea flower forms, along comes Felicity to make you take another look. Modified lacecap flowers open rosy pink and then mature to shades of lavender and green, with interesting elongated flower stems (peduncles) that give them an informal appearance. On a vigorously growing plant, the blooms are especially long lasting when cut or dried, and add fullness to bouquets. Felicity will thrive in the moist, rich soils that hydrangeas prefer and will react slightly to soil acidity, leaning toward blue tones in lower pH soils and pinkish lavender shades in alkaline soils. Hydrangea macrophylla 'Tomeina-blue'
