(aka: H. 'NCHA1') We are thrilled to offer this breeding breakthrough from NCSU Professor Tom Ranney. Tom has taken the US native (New York south to Florida) Hydrangea arborescens and created a sterile (mophead) form with rich pink flowers...in other words a pink-flowered Hydrangea 'Annabelle', with slightly smaller 6" wide flower heads (10" if cut to the ground in spring). The name 'Spirit' is a tribute to those dealing with and surviving breast cancer, (despite officially being rejected by the really bright EU breeders rights officials who prefer nonsensical names). A royalty from every plant sold goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Although H. 'Spirit' is quite drought-tolerant, a well-drained moist soil is best. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
