The mop-head blooms of Hydrangea macrophylla Leuchtfeuer range in a fabulous colour palette from a rich dark rose to deep purple. The foliage turns red and yellow at the end of the season to add further interest. The hardy shrub is easy to grow and will prefer an alkaline soil to help keep its colours true during the flowering period from summer through to autumn.
