Revolutionary Breeding
Renowned Japanese plant breeder Ushio Sakazaki is no stranger to groundbreaking Horticultural achievements. Best known for his work on trailing petunias, including the beloved Surfinia series, he has spent decades revolutionising garden plants. However, his passion for Hydrangeas led him to a new venture, taking his next breeding program into Japan’s serene mountainous regions.

What makes Runaway Bride™ Hydrangea unique?
Unlike typical Hydrangea varieties that produce blooms at the tips of their branches, Runaway Bride™ Hydrangea flowers profusely along each stem. This creates a graceful, cascading effect reminiscent of a floral garland—a feature never seen before.
