Elizabeth Ashley Hydrangea

The Elizabeth Ashley Hydrangea is an amazing feat of cultivation, and a must-have for admirers of classic pink and blue hydrangeas. An exquisite reblooming variety, this hydrangea features perfectly shaped flower heads with uniform size, and pretty green eyes. You'll be astonished not only by the sheer beauty of these flowers, but by the large bloom size as well. These incredibly dense blooms have been compared to cauliflower heads, and they have the substantial stems needed to support them. Elizabeth Ashley blooms on new and old wood, too, for simple pruning. If you're seeking pH dependent color in tones of blue, pink and purple, you simply won't find a more beautiful hydrangea than Elizabeth Ashley.

This gorgeous hydrangea was named in honor of Elizabeth Ashley Hoke, the daughter of a hydrangea hybridizer. Elizabeth, an aspiring biologist herself, was killed in an automobile accident just before she was to begin college. This plant is meant to share the vibrancy and thirst for life that Elizabeth shared with her friends and family. Hydrangea macrophylla "hokomarore" PP31264
