Hydrangea serrata 'Kokonoe-yama' 

Pink and Purple Flowering Variegated Japanese Mountain Hydrangea

Zones 6-9

Partial Sun to Full Shade

'Kokonoe-yama' is a hydrangea that I fell in love with at the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC. In the lathhouse, this hydrangea stole the show with creamy white sand dusting variegation across each each and every leaf. The blooms are lacecap and can be pink to blue depending on the pH of the soil. These blooms contrast nicely against the variegated foliage. 'Kokonoeyama' may reach 3-4 ft in height and width in 10 years.
