Positive hortensia On Sep 28, 2005, hortensia from Langley, BC, BC (Zone 8b) wrote:

in commerce before 1811 -- origins uncertain

gows to 4x4, perfers fertile soil
beautiful little flowers of pale pink, densely packed with delicate petals and very fragrant. Not happy in the rain, behaves more like a centifolia in this regard (foliage also shows centifolia influence)

a reliable bloomer and a good garden plant.
