'Le Cygne' French hydrangea rests its large, white, mophead blooms on billowy, soft 'August Moon' hosta leaves.

If you want white hydrangeas, plant selections such as 'Annabelle' smooth hydrangea ( H. arborescens 'Annabelle'), 'Snowflake' oakleaf hydrangea ( H. quercifolia 'Snowflake'), 'Tardiva' ( H. paniculata 'Tardiva'), or 'Le Cygne' French hydrangea ( H. macrophylla 'Le Cygne').
