Sometimes you think you know something so well that it can't really turn your head anymore. Hydrangeas are almost so frequently planted in our landscapes that they almost fade into the background. Similar forms, so-so colors, same leaves. But wait! Have you met Miss Saori Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'H20-2')?
The incredible flowers of Miss Saori are fully double white blooms with a frosting of soft rose along the edges! How's that for something beyond the humdrum? The whole effect is a frothy, delicate confection of a mophead flower. Miss Saori is catch-your-breath beautiful, both in the garden and in the vase! Plus it will be constantly visited by pollinators! Supported by strong stems and backed by textured dark green leaves have a purple one, and with delightful toothy edges, these are mid-sized shrubs that reach a rounded form 3-4 feet in height and width.

You will always see Miss Saori at her stunning best!

Planting and Application:
The beautiful foliage complements the blooms - burgundy in spring, deep green in summer and plum in autumn. You will love this shrub all season long! The blooms look fantastic in a large planter or snipped for a vase and bouquet. Dry the big mophead blooms on the plant for winter interest or for interior decor.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bigleaf Hydrangea loves the full sun for the strongest stems and biggest blooms in cooler growing zones. However, they also prefer partial shade/afternoon shade in the hotter of the USDA growing zones 5-9, with morning sun being their favorite! Plant in very well-drained moist soil and top off with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch for insulation and moisture retention. Prune Bigleaf varieties only in the early spring to remove any parts that died over the winter, then only deadhead immediately after flowering, as it blooms on last year's wood.
