(not to be confused with the smaller newer compact version: Cityline Paris Bigleaf )
The original Paris was shown in France in 1928. Large in bloom, floret, and leaf size this hydrangea prefers less sun. I originally had it in front of the house and realized it was not thriving in its spot so I transplanted Paris to a shadier spot (even though it was not a preferable time in the season to transplant). Within a day it adapted beautifully and was without any transplant shock.
The individual florets are curly and will continue to increase in size up to 2 1/2 inches! The leaves are also large and a very dark forest green. The flower heads can grow up to 9 inches wide! One flower head can pass for a bouquet.
Update pictures: 6/16/14: Large blooms. Turning more pink than purple. Blooms top heavy after rain especially and also recently transplanted. Holding up with supports.
