I struggled to take a photo that would show the size of this, even with my hand, given it is so thick and so wide. It is larger than a dinner plate and probably six inches high. It has to be my largest one ever.

@jmlincoln @debsgarden99 @Kelliann @anges Thanks, ladies! Wish I could take some credit but this has to be the lowest maintenance plant ever! Just does it’s own thing, perfectly, every single year! 🙂

Mine have done well this year too. Think it was all the extra rain we got this year.

I would love to get one but they are so big I don’t have a spot. Are they full sun?

@Kelliann Mine are in part-shade. They are next to a fence and part-way under a medium-sized tree. I would encourage you to try this variety or a similar one in part-shade. They are quite hearty, and while they can get large, they are extremely easy to cut back. No more than five minutes each fall.

I love the coloured varieties, but I think white hydrangeas have their own charm.

@gjones The species is Hydrangea arborescens (smooth hydrangea). It's very low maintenance. 👌🏽 I'm not sure what the variety is, unfortunately.

It's looks like an Annabelle Hydrangea@cheerfulandLiterate
