Hydrangea Macrophylla Ruby Tuesday (PBR) | 2L Pot

An award-winning new hydrangea. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to October Hardiness: fully hardy Flowering for several months from midsummer, this easy and undemanding shrub puts on a dazzling display with its large, colour-changing flower heads. The display kicks off in midsummer, when domed clusters of pink flowers start opening from bud. Then as the seasons change from summer to autumn, the colour of each bloom intensifies and matures to a deep claret-purple. Only recently introduced, but already picking up the awards, this is a spectacular addition to the garden. Garden care: Leave the old flower heads in place through the winter. As the new shoots start to emerge in spring cut back a third to a quarter of the previous season’s flowering stems to the base and cut back the remaining flower heads to the first pair of buds.
