A superb double-flowered form of the oak-leafed hydrangea. The flowers open white, age to rosy pink, and dry well for a winter display. Its foliage too provides interest in the garden with autumn colours of wine-red to maroon, bright reds and orange. This cultivar has a stronger constitution than the straight species and forms a well shaped bush. Can be susceptible to root disease, this is more prevalent when planted in wet soil, with humid conditions. Growing to 1.5m.
