Hydrangea macrophylla 'Soeur Thérèse'
An outstanding white-flowered mophead hydrangea prized for its pure colour that holds exceptionally well throughout the flowering season. This elegant deciduous shrub produces generous clusters of pristine white blooms that remain clean and bright without the greening often seen in other white varieties.
Seasonal Highlights
From mid-summer onwards, the plant is adorned with rounded mophead flowers in the purest white. Unlike many white hydrangeas, the blooms maintain their clean colour throughout the season. The flowerheads age gracefully and make superb cut or dried flowers. Rich green foliage provides perfect contrast.
Key Features
- Pure white mopheads that resist fading
- Colour stable regardless of soil pH
- Compact, manageable habit
- Excellent cut flower longevity
- Clean, bright blooms all season
Perfect For
Ideal for mixed borders, woodland edges and shady gardens. Perfect for white garden schemes and contemporary designs. Excellent in containers for patios and courtyards. Beautiful as a specimen plant or grouped for impact.
Growing Tips
Plant in partial shade to shade in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Flowers on old wood, so avoid hard pruning. Remove spent flowerheads in spring, cutting back to the first strong buds. Mulch to retain moisture and protect roots in winter.
Looks Great With
Stunning alongside blue or pink hydrangeas for contrast. Pairs beautifully with hostas, astilbes and ferns in shade. Complements silvery foliage plants and purple-leaved heucheras. Works well with white roses and foxgloves.
A refined choice for those seeking the purest white hydrangea blooms, delivering elegance and reliability with simple care.
