A Charming Hydrangea for Your Garden
This gardening season, bring whimsy and charm to your outdoor space with Fairytrail® Green Cascade Hydrangea® (Hydrangea x). One of the first Cascade Hydrangeas® available in North America, this lovely shrub is a new addition to the beautiful Fairytrail® series. True to its name, it features attractive lime-green blooms, perfect for adding a refreshing touch to your garden or landscape!
Growing in a horizontal habit, Fairytrail® Green cascade hydrangea has arching branches that flower at every leaf cluster. The pale green petals it produces pair nicely with the darker green foliage, charming viewers from late spring into summer. Versatile and easy to incorporate, it works well in containers, draped over a retaining wall, or as a filler for mixed beds.
Fairytrail® Green cascade hydrangea is suited to USDA zones 5-9. It enjoys part sun, reaching a height of 4’ and a width of 4-5’. While hardy, it does bloom earlier than other old wood hydrangeas, making it more sensitive to spring frosts. To protect the delicate blooms, plant in a spot that has morning shade, as it helps any late season frosts melt slowly.
Pruning is not recommended; however, you can remove dead or damaged wood at any time.
