Description

Sister Theresa Bigleaf Hydrangea is a charming and graceful variety known for its delicate, two-toned flower heads and reliable garden performance. It produces large, rounded mopheads that combine soft pink florets with creamy white centers, creating a gentle, romantic effect. While it blooms primarily on old wood, its distinctive bicolor pattern and lush, green foliage make it a cherished heirloom plant for shaded cottage gardens and borders, where its serene beauty can be fully appreciated.

  • Romantic Cottage-Garden Appeal: The gentle color blend and full, rounded flower form evoke a classic, timeless charm perfect for informal and romantic garden settings.

  • Reliable Old-Wood Bloomer: Produces a generous and consistent display of its distinctive flowers in late spring to early summer from buds set the previous year.

  • Healthy, Robust Foliage: The plant is clothed in an abundance of large, healthy green leaves that provide a perfect backdrop for the pale flowers.

  • Excellent for Cutting: The unique bicolor blooms are highly desirable for creating soft, romantic fresh flower arrangements.

Faqs

Q: Do the flowers change color with soil pH?
A: The pink portions of the florets can be influenced by soil pH, potentially becoming a slightly deeper pink in alkaline soil or a more mauve-pink in acidic soil, but the distinctive bicolor pattern remains.

Q: How should I prune it?
A: Prune with care immediately after flowering in the summer. This allows time for the plant to set new flower buds on the old wood for the following year. Avoid fall or spring pruning.
