Which hydrangea?

I know there are some hydrangea experts on here, this is another rescue plant-honest I am not nicking all of these plants I swear, people just keep giving me things that look dead, and I do occasionally watch what people chuck away.

this shot is me trying to get all "flash" with my camera (moan)



and this one



and this



it doesn`t show up that well in these pics but it the petals have a slight translucent lilac about the edges too.

Also it is looking a bit yellow on the leaves, I know this is a deficiency of some sort and have given it a feed of tomato feed. It is growing in almost totally compost with a peat substutute thrown in for good measure and I chucked on some poultry manure pellets too-wilkinsons. any suggestions

 

Hydrangea macrophylla "White wave", imho.

Yellow leaves are lacking iron. Iron chelate is the best way for fixing this

 

Cheers chuck, i have had a look at the blog and you have me started on these stunners now. My hubby is now having a cardiac with the increasing length of my wishlist.

 

Hydrangeas are misunderstood, because of the horrid commercial varieties we were fed on for decades. There are some truly wondrous cultivars out there , mostly of japanese origin.

 

Thanks Shiney,

I did no know that. On a dry day durinhg the summer holidays I will drag my kids out to there, not too far at all,
