Description
Hydrangea macrophylla Wudu is a compact and bushy variety of hydrangea. Its dark green foliage forms a beautiful setting for its white ball-shaped inflorescences, from July to September. They open from light green buds, turn white, then revert to green as they fade, without turning pink in late summer, unlike some other varieties.
The flowering of 'Wudu' is generous and prolonged, adding a bright touch to shady corners of the garden. Its 10 to 15 cm diameter inflorescences are composed of single sterile florets, giving the whole an understated elegance. The deciduous foliage consists of ovate to elliptical, finely toothed leaves, measuring between 10 and 15 cm long. They turn yellow before falling in autumn. The bush will eventually reach an average of 1 m in all directions.
The Wudu Hydrangea fits well in a flower bed or as a specimen; it can also be grown in a large pot on a terrace or near an entrance. This bush prefers rich, fresh, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, and partial shade. This variety pairs beautifully with perennials with dark, black, or purple foliage, creating a striking contrast. Or pair it with evergreen ferns like Polystichum setiferum 'Plumosum Densum', whose delicate texture highlights its rounded inflorescences. Nearby, giant hostas such as 'Empress Wu', with their lush, veined foliage, will accentuate its compact structure. For extended floral interest, pair it with Astilbe 'Vision in Red'.

Planting and care
Plant Hydrangea macrophylla Wudu in spring or early autumn, preferably in a lightly shaded position, such as against an east-facing wall, or even a north-facing one. Shelter it from cold, drying winds. It does not require acidic soil but thrives in deep, moist, well-drained, and fairly fertile soil, possibly enriched with a good base fertiliser before planting. If the soil is dry at the base of the wall, position the root ball at least 30-40 cm away from the wall and incorporate plenty of well-rotted compost to help retain moisture in the soil. This variety is hardy down to approximately -15°C.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
