Add a touch of vintage charm to your garden with the Hydrangea macrophylla 'Ayesha', a unique heirloom variety prized for its unusual, cup-shaped petals. This "Prime" 5-gallon specimen makes an immediate statement with its dense, mophead clusters that closely resemble the delicate blooms of a lilac. The thick, waxy florets are exceptionally long-lasting and carry a subtle, sweet fragrance that is rare among hydrangeas, all held upright on sturdy, dark green stems.
