I’ve had one of these for about four years and it struggles constantly. The stems are weak all around, even just holding up a lot of foliage, let alone the massive flower heads. Flops straight into the ground and looks awful. It will shoot of flower heads 3 inches from the ground and just looks a mess when they hit the ground.

Very full, showy flowers.
This is a distinctive, showy take on our beloved native oakleaf hydrangea. Doubled florets are similar to those of 'Harmony,' but more weather-resistant. The tightly packed, pure white florets create very full, conical panicles with a unique 'quilted' effect. As the bloom ages, it turns a nice shade of green that lasts through most of the summer. The green foliage has wonderful wine-red fall color.
