Hydrangea macrophylla Piamina

Common Name:
Piamina Hydrangea

Description:
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Piamina’ is a compact, deciduous shrub renowned for its rich, vibrant mophead blooms in deep pink to red tones. Flowering from late spring through summer and often into early autumn, it delivers a bold and long-lasting display of colour. The large, rounded flower heads sit above lush, dark green foliage, creating a striking contrast and a full, tidy appearance. Depending on soil conditions, flower tones may shift slightly, though ‘Piamina’ is particularly valued for its strong, saturated colouring. Well suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering during dry periods and mulching will support healthy growth and abundant flowering. Ideal for pots, garden beds, and borders, it is especially suited to smaller gardens and courtyard spaces due to its compact habit.
