White Diamonds Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub with green foliage that turns dark yellow or gold in fall. The large cone panicles bloom pure white and fade to pink in summer attracting butterflies. While can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils. White Diamonds has increased heat and drought tolerance.
