Hydrangea Diamond Rouge

Common Name:
Diamond Rouge Hydrangea

Description:
Hydrangea Diamond Rouge is a striking deciduous shrub known for its vibrant, long-lasting flower display. It produces large, conical flower heads that emerge creamy white in summer before transitioning through shades of soft pink, deep raspberry, and rich red as the season progresses. This compact variety has lush green foliage that complements its ever-changing blooms, providing a stunning focal point in any garden. Diamond Rouge thrives in well-drained, moist soils and prefers a position in full sun to part shade. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for garden beds, borders, or containers, and it is highly valued for its extended flowering season and intense colour transformation.
