\"\"<\/p>\n

The leaves of this Hydragea Aspera are one of its key features. As with other Aspera subspecies the branches and leaves are ‘strigose’<\/strong> which botanically means ‘beset with appressed straight and stiff hairs’ that means rough and furry to me.<\/p>\n

This\u00c2\u00a0 specimen shrub is 4-5 feet tall and whilst it comes from the Himalayas some plants can be a bit tender.<\/p>\n

The Purple flowers open to a clear white (that is almost burned out on this photo) but the overall effect is pleasing. The flowerheads make good internal decorations.<\/p>\n

The colouring of Hydrangea Aspera is not affected by aluminium or acidity of the soil.<\/p>\n

Other Hydrangea species that are closely related include H.Involucrata, H. Strigosa and H.\u00c2\u00a0 Villosa.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 H. Sargentiana is a taller more leggy coarse shrub brought from China by E H Wilson with a low growing H. Longipes and H. Galbripes.<\/p>\n
