I saw this at the weekend and I want one! Flowers start pure white then develop into this beautiful mix. TIA!

It looks like the one in my garden. As you can see it needs some deadheading and it's not looking it's best in the rain!

I've no idea what it is as it was here when we moved but there's one called Hydrangea macrophylla 'Madame Emile Mouillère, which looks very similar, as it has the little blue bits in the middle, but mine doesn't have frilly petals (sorry to dazzle you with my botanical jargon).

My garden has neutral soil ph, and I know that some soils can change the flower colour of hydrangea, so you might want to bear that in mind

I thought the colour changing ones were dependent on soil type?

Dunno but similar to my brand new one (yours has more green) which I’m obsessed with!! Mine is more coney which I’ve just noticed is maybe because it’s called ‘phantom’ 👻😁

It's hydrangea 'limelight' maybe? I have them in my garden and they fade to a beautiful pink over time.

The coney ones are Hydrangea paniculata, the rounder ones are macrophylla, different varieties.
