From the sources "Hydrangeas for American Gardens," by Michael A. Dirr (2004), and "Encyclopedia of Hydrangeas" C.J. and D.M. Van Gelderen (2004 - Timber Press):

This is an older well-known Japanese cultivar. Panicles are generally to 10" to 12" long but have been know to grow up to 18" with a 6" diameter base, with a mixture of sterile and fertile white flowers. Each showy floret is composed of 4 to 5, 5/8" to 3/4" long, elliptic to rounded, overlapping sepals. White sepals age to pink. Later flowering, often late July to early August. Grows to 15 feet high.

This cultivar can be trained to grow as a standard, giving a small tree-like effect. Outstandingly lovely as a street tree. The white flowers take on a pink blush as they age.
