Blooms That Endure Cold Winters: Unlike many hydrangeas that are less than reliable in zone 6, Kokonoe-Yama reliably flowers even in colder climates—performing well through Zone 6. You get consistent early summer color from a plant that doesn’t require babying after a harsh winter.

Mottled Foliage Adds Layered Interest: This isn’t your average hydrangea. The foliage itself makes a statement, with variegated patterns of green and cream creating a soft, layered look even when the plant isn’t in bloom. It adds texture and contrast that lasts all season.

Soil-Responsive Color for Dynamic Display: Kokonoe-Yama’s lacecap blooms bring elegant dimension to the garden—and their color changes depending on soil pH. Acidic soil yields soft blues, while more alkaline soils bring out gentle pink tones. This built-in versatility makes each planting site unique.
