Hydrangea macrophylla 'Frau Fujiyo'



15th August 2013


I have a long row of blue Hydrangea planted along one side of the shade garden. I had intended to repeat the effect on the other side but I got distracted by bright colours!
I have at least found somewhere to grow all of the sparkling novelties coming from breeders. 'Fujiyo' is fairly subtle, and might almost pass for a simple blue.
Raised by Hiroshi Ebihara in Japan in 1986 and released to the trade in 1996. It is a seedling from 'Silver Edge' with pollen coming from 'Madam Blumkock'. Originally raised for flowering pot plant production it is quite vigorous and is now grown as a hardy shrub.
