Grandiflora Hydrangea
Sterile flowers appear in August and remain on the plant until the first hard frost.
The blooms can easily be used for drying.
The Grandiflora Hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata, is a common American garden plant and highly valued for its vigor and bloom dependability.
Sent to America from Japan in 1861, this continues to be one of the best loved varieties.
The large conical shaped white flower heads turn to pink in the fall with gray-green leaves.
6+ foot height at maturity.

Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems. You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.
