Also known as ‘Merveille Sanguine’ and ‘Bloody Marvellous’

One of the darkest reds available in a hydrangea, with foliage that follows suit. Produces masses of blood-red, mophead flowers in ball-shaped clusters. Deep, dark green foliage which takes on a heavy maroon toning which intensifies through summer. Deciduous. Grows approximately 1.5m high x 1.5m wide.

Suits a position in full sun to part shade with some protection from harsh summer sun. Hydrangeas prefer a moist but well drained soil, benefiting from regular watering in summer and mulching.
