Aborescens. The world is finally understanding the importance of pollinators and this hydrangea is a good one to reward that appreciation and understanding. The lacey, plum-purple florets are rich in nectar and as such draw in butterflies and bees. Don’t be surprised that there are already almost 325 wild bees recorded in Vermont which deserve our attention via the perennial plants we offer them. This hydrangea is an example.
