Lacy and romantic, the beauty of the Lacecap Hydrangea flower sets these shrubs apart from their Mophead and Panicle cousins! They look like darling Fairy rings in the garden, with delicate blooms that bring whimsical charm.

While not a separate variety of Hydrangea but a type of bloom, Lacecap flowers feature the same quilted deep green leaves with serrated edges and long bloom times. These shrubs add texture, color, and pollinator-friendly blossoms that feel both magical and refined. Lacecap Hydrangeas bring a touch of frills and fantasy to the landscape!

  • Rich, well-drained soil enriched with compost
