Hydrangea quercifolia

Abstract

There is disclosed an Hydrangea quercifolia plant, having pure white color blooms with perfect and abundant sterile florets on the same panicle, the habit being low and compact, up to one and one-half meters in height with spreading compact almost hemispherical outline, the non-pendant blooms being borne on strong erect stems.

I claim:
