Plant Patent #10,372. Cultivar name: 'Frau Taiko'. The Halo™ series of Hydrangeas introduces an entirely new look to this colorful shrub. Compact enough for containers, the Halos™ offer picotee blooms of either pink or blue, held in very large clusters on strong stems that won't flop in garden or vase. Quite cold hardy, they are very heavy bloomers, offering nonstop flowers from late spring well into summer. Brought to us from Europe but originally bred in Japan in the 1990's by Hiroshi Ebihara, this series arose from crosses of H. 'Crystal Halo' x H. 'Silver Edge'. They are wonderfully dependable, hardworking, and a pleasure in any setting.
Angel Song™ is a stunning, crisply formal Halo™ with a neat, pencil-thin picotee on every rich pink or blue floret. These mophead blooms reach 7 to 8 inches in diameter, beginning in late spring and continuing through early summer. At 4 to 5 feet high and wide, this shrub commands attention in the foundation planting or shrub border, but is also compact enough for large containers.
Give Angel Song™ partial shade and well-worked, enriched soil for best growth and flowering. A stunning addition to any landscape. Zones 6-10.
