Lacecaps and mopheads are the most commonly grown hydrangeas in our gardens. Mopheads have full, round heads of large petals, and lacecaps have flattish flower heads of large outer petals and tiny flowers in the centre.
Hydrangea macrophylla 'St Claire' is a pretty mophead hydrangea, bearing red, blue or purple flowers with a white picotee edge to each petal. Like most hydrangeas, plants grown in alkaline soils produce pink flowers, while those grown in acid soils bear blue flowers.
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘St Claire’ is perfect for growing in a mixed, herbaceous border, especially when used in conjunction with other hydrangeas.
