Hobblebush may be
easily confused with:
- Wild Hydrangea
Either may have larger flowers around the outer edge of the cluster, though this is more common in hobblebush. Individual tiny hydrangea flowers have 8 or more stamens, while hobblebush has 5. The shape and texture of the leaves are different.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
