Clueless about this shrub. Help!

Post by Shazia Khurram »

Hi everyone
I was given this gorgeous plant by my uncle who unfortunately has no idea of its name.
It starts flowering in June up until October. The flowers are huge and lilac in color. Thanks

@Muhammad Arif Khan: I'm based in Rawalpindi, if you can arrange delivery, you're welcome to it.

@Hamad Ahmad Kisana: Sir, thanks a bunch! You've solved the mystery. Mexican hydrangea it is!

@ Izhar: yes it has a very light lilac like fragrance. Especially in summers.
