Winner of the prestigious Award of Garen Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, 'Madame Emile Mouillere' is a beautiful classic Hydrangea first introduced in France in 1909. It has stood the test of time and, ever since, graced many gardens worldwide for good reasons. It is a heavy-flowering selection that blooms for months during summer and into fall. It features abundant, large globular clusters of pure-white, serrated flowers with a tiny sparkling pink, lavender, or blue eye at the center. The flowers may be very light blush pink with more sun, and the color of the eye depends on the soil's pH. The flower clusters are excellent for cutting, gorgeous, and long-lasting in a vase or floral arrangement. Extremely reliable, cold-hardy, easy to grow, and consistently blooming year after year in the garden, Madame Emile Mouillere is an outstanding flowering shrub for borders, containers, and foundation plantings in partial to full shade.

The breeder, Monsieur Emile Louis Mouillère, was a French horticulturist in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He made his home and hydrangea legend in Vendôme, France, where his family's hydrangea legacy lasted until the mid-1950s. He named this magnificent and beautiful cultivar after his wife.
