Original and very floriferous with its numerous, lovely round and flattened corymbs, flowers with charming, concave florets giving a lilac form, from July to September. Discreet perfume (rare with hydrangeas). This variety is late flowering. Turns blue in an acid soil. Beautiful shiny foliage. Synonyms : Flieder, Sering, Uzu Ajisai, Leek flower, Silver Slipper, Pink Lilac. The 'Scaring Flieder Lilac' seems to be a clone, but bigger, and grows in sheltered areas.
