Hydrangea arborescens 'Haas Halo' (smooth hydrangea)

We simply had to get one of these Haas Halos smooth hydrangeas for our garden. Those plate-sized lacecaps couldn't be resisted. 

Planted out in the garden, we were impressed with its heat tolerance and resistance to wilting during dry, baking summer days.

The fat stems are a big deal to us - they easily hold aloft the 6-8" diameter, pollinator-magnet lacecaps.

Oh, you love bees and pollinating insects? These giant lacecap heads have centers packed with fertile flowers that will attract your insect friends to your garden.

This is another smooth hydrangea that makes a lovely cut fresh or dried flower head.

More will be available late summer 2020. 🌱

Grower's Note: We grow smooth hydrangeas is RootMaker pots so we induce the best, well-branched, non-circling roots possible. These pots are expensive, so we take your plant out of the pot, then we clean and reuse the pot (recycling!). To ship your plants, we carefully wrap the roots in a compostable plastic bag, then put them in a paper bag; then they are boxed. This triple packaging holds together very tightly during shipment. Please have a pot on hand to shift them up into, but they will hold as-is in the packaging we send them for several days before planting (please water them!). The goal of this system is to have good roots and reduce trash.

• lacecap flowers that attract pollinators
• spreads to colonize an area
• remontant if prune off the first round of spent flower heads (remontant means it will rebloom)
• cold tolerant
• heat tolerant
