Description
Hydrangea macrophylla Dancing Snow forms a compact, broadly upright shrub with dark green oval leaves and sturdy stems. White flower heads open lacecap-style, with large double outer florets around small pale green buds, then fill into a domed display of smaller double florets.
Grow in sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, using reliable moisture in sunny sites. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering, and remove dead or weak stems as needed. Wear gloves when handling because the plant may irritate skin.
