Late last summer I purchased 3 specimen that were bi-colored, 2 purple and white and 1 blue and white. I'd never seen these before, so I snatched them up on sale. The tag called them 'chiffon hydrangea.' I've never been able to find anything of a variety of hydrangea named chiffon, so I'm not exactly sure what I have. I definitely hydrangea, based on the leaves, although they are quite a bit smaller than the leaves on the macro.
I basically just cut these plants into pieces and shipped the pieces but not the rootballs to myself from Baltimore where my son lives. When I got home and received the shipment, I made 4" cuttings out of all the pieces. They rooted easily enough and I put each in a 4" individual pot. The tag also said they were hardy in zone 7 or able, so I wintered the cuttings over in my semi-heated green house.
Having just watered everyting in my greenhouse and brought all the plants out of dormancy, I am happy to note that most of my cuttings are showing green. But I'm still puzzled about what kind of hydrangea I have.
