Hydrangea macrophylla Red

The Red Hydrangea is a medium-sized shrub adorned by rich red mop-head flowers throughout spring, summer and autumn. This cottage-garden style plant is particularly useful for semi-shade positions as a feature, screen, mass planting or potted specimen. Red hydrangeas make impressive, long-lasting, cut flowers.

Soil: Well-drained, loamy soil. The occasional top dressing of dolomitic lime will help to maintain its colour.
Conditions: Hydrangeas do not like hot, direct sunlight so plant with morning sunlight and partial shade in the later parts of the day. It is a particularly hardy, deciduous shrub that copes with wind and coastal conditions and tolerates frost to -20C.
Size: Height 1.3m x width 1.3m
