Fairytrail Bride® Cascade Hydrangea

Hydrangea × ‘USHYDO405’ PP#31,120

Fairytrail Bride® is a unique Cascade Hydrangea with a naturally horizontal, arching growth habit and elegant stems covered in white lacecap-style flowers. Unlike traditional hydrangeas that concentrate blooms at the tips of their branches, Fairytrail Bride produces flower buds at every leaf node, creating a beautiful cascading effect as the stems become covered with blooms from spring into summer.

This distinctive hydrangea is especially beautiful spilling from containers, cascading over retaining walls, or planted along garden edges where its graceful form can be appreciated. It blooms on both old and new wood, but pruning should generally be avoided; simply remove dead or damaged wood in early spring. Fairytrail Bride performs best with consistent moisture and protection from intense afternoon sun, particularly in warmer climates.
