Hydrangea serrata 'Shinonome'
Another delightful Japanese shrub of medium growth, rather ramified and readily blooming. Domed lace-cap flowers with double sterile flowers in the most tender pink or blue that will create a crown of bowing florets around the fertile flowers of the same colour. The sepals of the sterile flowers are long and narrow. The Japanese name describes the colour of the flowers and can be translated in "eastern dawn cloud". But also the autumn performance of this shrub is astounding: the leaves go the brightest red whilst the central part maintains its strong green colour. Found in the village of Sinraku (Shiga). About 1,20 meters. Some shade
