Dash to the nearest magazine stand and thumb through a few of the wedding magazines. Go ahead. We'll wait....
Did you notice how many of the pricey wedding bouquets had Hydrangeas in them? Or how many of those Hydrangeas were a rustic antique white and celery green that seemed to go with every other flower and every wedding dress? That flower was probably the Everlasting™ Jade Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hortmaja')!
Well, now you can have it! Nature Hills is proud to offer this gorgeous Bigleaf Hydrangea to you. You'll love the large cream colored blossoms accented by hints of green, both in your garden and your floral bouquets!
Everlasting™ Jade was bred in the Netherlands for the cut flower trade. That means super-strong straight stems and tough florets that last for days in the vase. This little beauty is a flower powerhouse that will fit into any garden, in sun or shade. The flowers start out apple green, fading to antique white and then the cool weather of autumn turns them celery green with red tips. Everlasting Jade will keep you mesmerized all season!
Planting and Application:
Wouldn't you want this beauty in your own cutting garden at home? Loving the dappled and partial shade areas of your landscape, Bigleaf Hydrangeas are a dream shrub for use beneath the canopies of larger trees, or around the bases of large shrubs! They are of course fantastic specimens and low borders all on their own!
Try sprucing up your foundation plantings, shady cottage gardens and Perennial beds, or as natural garden edging! Try Jade Hydrangea in large pots on the front entry, too! The smaller size is perfect for brightening smaller shadowy spots and urban courtyards alike. Pot up in a large planter for your balcony, porch or patio! Mix with Wedding Dress™ Hydrangea or Grin and Tonic™ Hydrangea to keep the white and green theme going and enjoy a mixture of sizes!
The brilliant white and green blooms and quilted green leaves are a dramatic combination to add elegance, lush backdrops, and frills to your landscape in a formal plantings. A pair flanking the start or end of a pathway, lining a walkway formally spaced, or basking in the shade of a hardscape, or evergreen hedge would look divine!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
For the most blooms and strongest growth, plant Hydrangeas in partial shade to part sun, favoring morning sun and afternoon shade. This is especially important in the hottest of the USDA growing zones 5-9. Plant Hydrangea with moderate, and consistent moisture access and in enriched organic well-drained soil.
Bigleaf Hydrangea bloom on last year's wood, so it's best to prune if needed, and only in the early spring to remove stems that died back in the winter. You can also use renewal pruning to remove the older stems is done to keep the plants vigorous and healthy. This is because 1-3 year old branches are the best for flowering and older stems should be cut out to the ground in early spring when removing the old blooms and damaged branch tips.
- Partial Shade/Afternoon Shade
- Moderately Moist Enriched Soil
- Highly Adaptable
- Prune Bigleaf Hydrangea Early Spring
- Very Hardy & Easy to Grow
