Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Dream Cloud’, or bigleaf hydrangea, is a compact ornamental shrub prized for its soft, luminous blooms. From summer onward, it produces large, globe-shaped white inflorescences, sometimes subtly tinged with green or pale pink as they age. Its dark green foliage highlights these delicate blooms and adds a beautiful presence to the garden. Ideal in pots, borders, or flowerbeds, it fits perfectly into small spaces and elegant designs. Its generous blooms and rounded silhouette make it an excellent choice for creating calming atmospheres. Less hardy than panicle hydrangeas, it prefers a sheltered location and rich, cool, well-drained soil.
