Family:  Hydrangeaceae
Author:  Sieb.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  1.5   Mature Width:  
 
Habitat:  Montane woodlands and by mountain streams all over Japan[11, 174].



Cultivation Notes:  Tolerates most soil[200], thriving in a well-drained loamy soil[1], but resenting dryness at the roots[11, 200]. Succeeds in full sun or semi-shade[200], but if it is grown in a low rainfall area then it requires shade at the hottest part of the day[11]. Does well on very acid soils with a pH around 4.5[200]. The colour of the flowers reflects the pH of the soil the plant is growing in, the flowers are pink in a neutral to alkaline soil and blue in an acid soil. Plants are hardy to about -25°c when dormant but the young growth in spring can be killed by late frosts. This species is notably susceptible to honey fungus[200].
