Aspera

Three sizes available on most cultivars.

The Aspera hydrangeas are know for their large habit, fuzzy leaves and stems and large dome-shaped blooms. Most are tall and slender growing hydrangeas with sparse leaves that show off the exfoliating bark in every season. The varieties are native to the Himalayas, China and Taiwan. Bloom time for the Aspera family is summer through fall and they are hardy from USDA zone 6 to 9 but need protection in windy locations.

Our 1-year plants have been grown in a 3.5” pot for at least one growing season. The container is at least 3” by 3” and foliage is typically 2 to 4”.

The one-gallon plants have a root ball of approximately 4 to 5 inches and foliage can be 4 to 12” in height (DWARF cultivars will be smaller). Please note these plants are not shipped in their original containers and must be planted or potted up immediately after receipt.
