Care and growing notes

Dichroa Versicolor is a little more tolerant of sun and warm conditions than actual Hydrangea varieties, with the added advantage of being evergreen it is perhaps a little under used in gardens and landscaping.

Dichroa Versicolor does well in a part shaded position.

A humus rich moist but well drained soil is best with some protection from hot afternoon sun advisable.
