Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mathilde Gutges'
Hortensia group. Dense vigorous multi-stemmed shrub with lush light-green leaves, bold and saucer-shaped. In summer large clusters of intense blue flowers. Flower colour can vary from blue to pink depending on soil acidity. Very pretty. The flowers form on two year old wood. Thin out crowded stems in late winter, shorten where necessary. Hardy for cold sites. Best in semi-shade, with good soil moisture.
