Grin and Tonic Hydrangea is a dwarf mounding deciduous shrub with dense rounded habit and glossy dark green leaves. The rounded panicles that open bright lime green and mature to bright white cover the foliage from late spring to fall. While can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
