Noteworthy Characteristics
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Mariesii Variegata' bigleaf lacecap hydrangea has variegated leaves that look as if someone had taken a fine paintbrush and made a few white streaks on each green leaf. The central tiny fertile florets are a deep gentian blue, and the large sterile petals surrounding the lacecap are a ghostly pale blue. The early to midsummer blossoms taken with a few leaves still attached are great for bouquets. The blooms can also be dried for dry floral arrangements.
Uses
Mariessii hydrangea is useful as a specimen or in small groupings in landscape beds or foundation plantings and also makes an exceptionally colorful hedge. Also nice in containers.
Culture & Care Tips
Mariesii hydrangea prefers a moist but well-drained fertile soil and shade or dappled sunlight during the afternoon. For best flowering provide at least 6 hours of sun per day.
