lacecap

Delicate flower cluster

A lacecap is a type of hydrangea with flat flower clusters—small fertile flowers in the center surrounded by a ring of larger sterile blooms, creating a lacy appearance: The lacecap hydrangeas along the fence are finally blooming.

Distinguished from mophead hydrangeas, which form dense, rounded flower balls.
