The heads open from lime green buds, hold clean white for weeks, then age to a soft antique green as the season ends. It is one of the best hydrangeas for cutting, fresh or dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt forms a rounded shrub about 1.2 to 1.5 metres tall and wide, with broad, deep green leaves that set off the flowers. It loses its leaves in winter and reshoots in spring. Because the flowers are white, the colour does not change with soil pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it morning sun and afternoon shade, or bright filtered light, in rich, moist soil that drains well. It handles frost and light coastal exposure. Use it in cottage and heritage gardens, along shaded paths and fences, as a low informal hedge, or in a large pot on a terrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:44px 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:1.5px;margin:0 0 8px;padding-top:32px;border-top:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);text-transform:uppercase;color:currentColor;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;color:currentColor;opacity:0.65;font-size:14px;font-style:italic;\"\u003eAbout Bridal Bouquet Hydrangea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow big does 'Bridal Bouquet' grow?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eAbout 1.2 to 1.5 metres tall and wide.
