Hi
A friend of mine has a plant/shrub in her garden which we can't seem to
identify.

It's tall - about 8ft tall ATM
Large green/greyish leaves
Leaves are sort of hairy to the touch
It's has white flowers that look like a large lace cap hydrangea
Deciduous
Grows well in the shade / damp

Don't have a picture right now, but will could get one in a week or two is
necessary.
Any ideas ?

The aspera group of Hydrangeas are in flower at the moment, and have
hairy stems and leaves, but it's only the outer flowers that are white
