Who wants a hydrangea with weak stems? Not us – that’s one of the reasons we love Cityline Venice hydrangea. Like the rest of the Cityline series. it was selected in Germany for its strong stems. glossy. disease-resistant foliage. and pure. saturated flower colors. Each large floret of its round mophead blooms has distinctively-shaped petals (technically sepals) that give it a dramatic presence that far outshines other bigleaf hydrangeas.?
What makes Cityline Venice different from other bigleaf hydrangeas?
- Florets take on an unusual shape that’s very distinctive
- Very dark green foliage resists disease
