GARDENS
LACECAP HYDRANGEA
This is another showstopper that is wonderful for shady areas . The blooms on these lovelies are more subtle than their mophead cousins . Their flower structures are borne on flat-topped clusters where florets bloom around the edge . The delicate blooms will brighten any garden , pairing well with shade perennials like hostas , ferns , and Lenten rose . Don ’ t be fooled by their delicate blooms — they are cold hardy to zone 4 and withstand the heat of zone 9 .
