Description

Star Gazer Double Delights Hydrangea

 Hydrangea macrophylla kompeito

 

a compact lacecap cultivar that typically grows to 3-4 tall and to 3-5 wide. It is part of the DOUBLE DELIGHTS SERIES from Ball Ornamentals. It typically blooms on old wood in late spring with repeat bloom on new wood from summer often into fall if spent flowers are regularly deadheaded. Each lacecap inflorescence features a mass of small fertile flowers surrounded by large double flowers on long petioles. It is a rebloomer that produces flowers in spring on old wood (flower buds are produced the previous fall and overwintered) and a repeat bloom of flowers from summer into fall on new wood. If old growth buds do not survive winter, plants will still bloom summer to fall, albeit less floriferously, on the new growth. Spent flowers should be regularly deadheaded. Flower color ranges from blue with white picotee edges to pink with white picotee edges
