She won Plant of the Year at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2018 as a new class of hydrangea with unrivaled flower power. Long, trailing stems draped in white lace, with a bouquet of florets at every leaf node, yields a dramatic display. It also creates new uses for all kinds of spaces, such as hanging baskets and cascading containers, and spilling over rocks and wall spaces. A brilliant introduction from Ushio Sakazaki, the legend of Japan, the same breeder that brought us so much of the Proven Winners® brand.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hydrangea x Fairytrail Bride® Cascade Hydrangea®
Cascade hydrangeas are perfect for flower gardens, cottage gardens, and container gardens. They also make great hanging baskets or look great spilling over rocks and wall spaces.
Best suited for milder climates.
Moist but well drained soils are best. Mountain hydrangeas are less susceptible to wilting than bigleaf hydrangeas, but cannot take soggy conditions for any period of time. Tolerant of a range of soil pH levels, however, soil pH will influence flower color.
Avoid pruning Cascade hydrangeas, except to remove any dead wood. These hydrangeas cannot be cut back or trimmed at any time of the year without impacting the bloom for either the current season or the next. Though they do rebloom readily on new wood, the best display comes from treating them as though they bloom only old wood.
