Prune Like a Pro: Mountain Hydrangea
The botanical name for Mountain Hydrangea is H. Serrata.
Mountain hydrangeas look very similar and are closely related to Hydrangea macrophylla, as both have lacecap flowers. Mountain hydrangeas have a more delicate branching structure and flowers that are slightly less showy than their relatives. ‘Tuff Stuff’ is a popular variety.
