Tokyo Delight Hydrangea is a deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and dark green leaves that take on hints of burgundy in fall. The lacecap flower clusters open white and earn a color that depends on the soil PH - acidic soils produce blue while alkaline soils produce pink- that darkens with age. The flowers attract pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
