Already very early in the season, Hydrangea 'Veerle' will flower in pink or blue, depending on the soil. The lacecap flowers consist of fertile and sterile flowers. After pollination, the sterile flowers pivot down and color old-pink. Even in cold areas, 'Veerle' flowers very reliable. Because of its early flowering 'Veerle' can give a second bloom when it is cut back immediately after the first bloom. In autumn the green leaves of 'Veerle' color from wine red to deep purple. Planted in large groups 'Veerle' creates an astonishing sight. Hydrangea 'Veerle' is a seedling of Hydrangea serrata ssp. yezoensis, the most northerly growing Japanese Hydrangea, and is therefore very hardy.x0dx0ax0dx0a
