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 ?

Jenny


Sounds like a very large/old Vibernam Plicatum... I didn't know they grew
that tall though, so more likely to be a hydrangea.
