Enjoy refined, bouquet-like blooms with Hydrangea macrophylla 'Wedding Gown™' (bigleaf hydrangea), a compact lacecap hydrangea prized for its pure white, double florets and long season of interest. You will see rounded lacecap heads that start fresh white and can age softly as the season progresses, framed by bold, dark green, serrated leaves for a classic, lush look.

Place your plant where it gets morning sun and afternoon shade, or bright dappled light for best performance. Even moisture is important: water deeply during dry spells and use mulch to help keep roots cool and the soil evenly moist. In hotter climates, extra shade helps prevent leaf stress and keeps blooms looking their best.

This shrub matures to roughly 24-36 inches tall and can spread wider, making it an excellent choice for foundation beds, lightly shaded borders, and large containers. Plant in a site with good drainage and enrich the soil with compost for steady growth and better flowering. Space plants so air can move through the branches to reduce disease pressure.

Prune thoughtfully. Many bigleaf hydrangeas bloom primarily on older stems, so limit heavy pruning and focus on removing dead wood and spent flower heads after bloom when needed. With the right light and moisture, you can look forward to repeat displays of bright white flowers year after year.
