Description
Well known and immensely popular in Japan, ‘Fuji Waterfall’ has made its way to the U.S. and is definitely one of the most elegant Hydrangeas in our gardens. In summer and reblooming in fall, the large lacecap-like flower clusters feature pure-white double ray florets that cascade like a “waterfall’ against a background of very attractive lustrous and large deep green leaves. A site to behold, this one deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow. Excellent in garden beds and containers. USDA Zones 5a-9b
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, the Fuji Waterfall Hydrangea is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or as a colorful natural hedge in shady to partially shaded landscape borders, home foundation plantings, and perennial gardens. Also suitable for growing in somewhat large containers of 14 inches or more in diameter. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, white theme gardens, shade and woodland gardens, cut flower gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedge; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Fuji Waterfall Hydrangea will grow in full sun to part shade in northern zones but likes morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun in the south (Zones 7-9). Evening sun is fine. It adapts to various soil types however prefers an acidic, moist but well-drained loamy soil. Not too wet though…Hydrangea don’t like constantly soggy soil. This hydrangea blooms on old wood and new growth so if the first flush of flowers are deadheaded new buds will form that open late summer into fall. USDA Zones: 5a-9b Find Your Zone

This hydrangea is beautiful. It definitely needs moist soil while adjusting after planting. It droops otherwise, but perks right up if watered soon after starting to droop. Beautiful flowers.
