Hydrangea x 'Fairytrail Bride'

Hydrangea x FAIRYTRAIL BRIDE®: Cascading White Lace for Walls and Edges

Hydrangea x FAIRYTRAIL BRIDE® is a Proven Winners® cascade hydrangea that creates a soft, romantic drape of bloom unlike any upright shrub. Deckle-edged white petals give the flowers a lacy, refined look, while trailing stems stretch outward and become covered in blooms nestled above lush green foliage. The horizontal habit makes it feel like a flowering garland, perfect for adding movement and elegance to the garden. It brings a fresh, bright presence to part-shade spaces and looks especially beautiful spilling over stone, steps, or low walls.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 4’
• Spread: 4’
• Flower Colour: White
• Flowering Period: Late spring to early summer
• Foliage: Lush green foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade
• Soil Requirements: Moist, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter

Uses and Benefits: Ideal for spilling over retaining walls, softening hard edges, and weaving through the front of mixed borders where its trailing stems can shine. It also works beautifully at the top of slopes, along pathways, or at the edge of a raised bed where the blooms can cascade naturally. The unique growth habit adds a graceful, layered look that pairs well with woodland plantings and shaded foundation beds.

Care Instructions: Water regularly during the first season to establish, then maintain even moisture during dry spells for best growth and flowering. Mulch helps keep roots cool and soil consistently moist. Prune lightly after flowering to shape or shorten wayward stems, and focus on maintaining its natural trailing form rather than forcing a tight outline. A spring top-dressing of compost supports healthy foliage and strong bloom set.

History: FAIRYTRAIL BRIDE® was introduced to bring a new hydrangea form to gardens, combining lacecap-style elegance with a distinctive trailing, horizontal habit that creates a true cascading effect. Its flower-covered stems and refined white blooms have made it a standout choice for modern landscape design.

Final Thoughts: If you want hydrangea bloom in a fresh, cascading form, FAIRYTRAIL BRIDE® delivers a graceful white display that turns walls, edges, and shaded borders into something quietly spectacular.
