Hydrangea aspera subsp. sargentiana ‘La Fosse’

A distinct form of sargentiana from the French arboretum 'La Fosse', in the Loire Valley. The huge leaves are more rounded in form, with an even tougher texture. The overall shape of the plant is more bushy, reaching 2m high. The big blue and white lacecaps are seen, as usual, in July/August. For a bright but fairly wind sheltered site. Hardy.
