O Amacha Nishiki Mountain Hydrangea

Hydrangea serrata ‘O Amacha Nishiki’

NULL

Small deciduous shrub making a rounded to spreading outline, the latter usually occurring in more shaded conditions. The stems are a dark red to red-purple. A slow to medium grower, some consider this one a dwarf, I would say smaller stature as compared to the species. The flower is a lace-cap type, fertile flower cluster pink to mauve, outer sterile flowers white with blush pink, June to August.

The leaves are irregularly dusted and dappled with light green and gold, bright yellow within the mid-riband radiating veins. Darker green sometimes appears at the leaf edge. A complex and somewhat subtle variegation but outstanding, further evaluation is needed as to full sun tolerance, partial sun recommended. The fall color consists of a dark purple outer band trending violet towards the center, ending with a pink midrib with yellow at the base.

Height 3.5’-4.5’ Width 3.5’ to 5’
