Blue Wave Macrophylla Hydrangea (mislabeled)

Label Incorrectly... This is not a Blue Wave hydrangea as those are lace caps and the bloom shown below is definitely a Mophead.  Will continue to call it Blue Wave for now.

  • Hydrangea Lacecap
  • Strong/Hardy grower in light shade
  • dark green gorgeous foliage 
  • Blue in acid soils 
  • Very round, neat "bush like" appearance

Update: 6.16.14:
 Still seeing only one bloom.  May not bloom this year due to improper pruning by supplier, or nursary.  Still gorgeous though.  Pictures not giving justice.

Update picture: 7.2.14
This season may only produce one flower.  I purchased it in bad shape for a huge price cut so it did require some additional pruning.  I'm thinking that the color of the bloom is still affected by its original soil from the nursery.  Next year I'm trying for the darker blues that are responsible for its name Blue Wave.  However, it will take a few growing seasons to achieve the full blue.

Update: 7.11.14
