Since I don't see this one come up very often, I'll just give you a quote from 'Hydrangeas for American Gardens' Hope it helps.

Michael Dirr: "Burgundy Lace is a de Belder selection from seedlings of 'Unique'. When grown in full sun, the white, sterile flowers become beautiful pink, and mature to mauve and light violet. Individual sterile florets are 1.2 to 1.6 inches wide. Inflorescences have an average length of 10 inches and an average width of 6 inches. The plant grows 10 to 14 feet high. The photograph I saw was spectacular and sufficient reason to at least test this form. I suspect high summer heat may reduce the intensity of the pink coloration."

Thanks for that description. Good to know a de Belder selection...I've only seen and heard good things on these hydrangeas. Sounds like a perfect fit for my garden.

I'd love to see the mauve, light violet color...anyone have pics?
