Everlasting Noblesse Bigleaf Hydrangea is a compact mophead noted for long-lasting, cupped celery green flowers with white centers and colored eyes that vary with soil pH, maturing to richer green as the season advances. Strong stems and rounded, tidy foliage make a refined feature for foundations, borders, and containers.
Distinctive Features
Large, 6 to 8 inch clusters hold for months, showing white-centered green blooms that develop pink, purple, or blue eyes depending on soil chemistry. Thick, sturdy stems resist flopping and enhance cut-flower performance.

Low Maintenance Care
Watering: Water deeply and regularly in summer; mulch to keep roots cool and moist.
Pruning: Bloom primarily on older wood; prune lightly after flowering to shape and remove spent heads.

Mulching: Maintain a 2 inch organic mulch, keeping it off the stems.
Notes: Protect swelling buds from late frosts; avoid heavy spring pruning that removes flower set.
Unique Palette: Celery green blooms with white centers and variable eye color.
