Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wedding Gown’, commonly known as Hydrangea, is a compact, reblooming lacecap hydrangea with elegant double white flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. This deciduous shrub grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded mound with dark green foliage that beautifully offsets the pure white blooms. The outer ring of sterile double florets surrounds a center of fertile buds, creating a delicate, layered appearance. ‘Wedding Gown’ blooms on both old and new wood, offering reliable flowering and an extended bloom season in part shade settings.

No. Hydrangea macrophylla is native to Japan, and ‘Wedding Gown’ is a cultivated double-flowered lacecap variety. While very popular in American gardens for its beauty, it is not native and provides limited ecological benefits compared to native hydrangeas like Hydrangea arborescens or Hydrangea quercifolia.
‘Wedding Gown’ is a compact, re-blooming lacecap hydrangea that features pure white double flowers that age to soft pink or pale green. Its layered bloom structure includes both sterile and fertile florets, and it typically grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, or border plantings.
‘Wedding Gown’ prefers partial shade to full sun in cooler climates, with morning sun and afternoon shade ideal in warmer zones. It grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic soil and is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9. Consistent watering and mulching help maintain healthy growth and bloom production
To a limited extent. Unlike most mophead hydrangeas, ‘Wedding Gown’ has some fertile florets, which may attract bees and small pollinators, but the majority of its bloom is made up of sterile, ornamental flowers. It does not serve as a host plant and has low wildlife value compared to native species.
Not reliably. Hydrangea macrophylla is not deer-resistant, and deer may browse leaves and flower buds. However, ‘Wedding Gown’ is relatively low-maintenance with proper care—requiring light pruning after the first flush of blooms and regular watering, especially during hot or dry spells.
