Zebra Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub and serrated dark green leaves on black stems. Its lacecap flowers open green and mature to a glowing white on old wood regardless of soil acidity. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
