xDidrangea versicolor
Bushy erect shrub with large rich green leaves on stout tall stems. The leaves tend to turn purple-green in the colder months. Large showy heads of electric blue waxy star-like flowers through summer and autumn. While hardy to many conditions it does grow best in good soil, avoiding really dry sites, semi-shaded best.
