Buy 1 for $15.00 / Buy 5 for $65.00

Plants with french names seem to bring more emotion to the choice. Perhaps that's just me! This variety was bred in France by Henri Cayuex in 1923 and is still one of the best white forms. 'The Swan' in translation has pure white graceful mopheads with unusually pointed sepals. It is a strong cultivar which can reach 1.6m in ideal conditions. As with all mophead hydrangeas, enriched and well mulched soil with ample moisture and semi shade are conducive to good results. A hardy, deciduous shrub if protected from harsh sun.
