Hydrangea Macrophylla Madame E. Mouilliere

Hydrangea Macrophylla Madame E. Mouilliere Hydrangea macrophylla Madame E. Mouilliere is a mop-head Hydrangea.

This deciduous shrub originated in Asia and the Americas and grows to a height and spread of 4 ft (1.2 metres).

It has oval leaves with jagged edges that cover the branches carrying the white mop-heads.

For a small garden, one of the best mop head hydrangeas.

Deadhead the following year as leaving the spent heads on helps to protect the shrub over winter. The one thing they are prone to is bud damage caused by late spring frosts.

If you wish to prune, remove one third of the plants older stems completely which encourages the Hydrangea to produce fresh new growth for flowering next season and increase the quantity of flowers produced.
