Royal Red Hydrangea

Royal Red Hydrangea

Produces Puffy Blooms as Big as Volleyballs

  (2 customer reviews)



Huge 9-in. flowers in stunning all-out bloom throughout summer. Full and fluffy, they load the foliage—a glorious display of color. Branches bow under the sheer weight of the blossoms. Adaptable size for landscaping—grows 3-5 ft. tall. Best planted in full to partial sun. (NOTE: If Nikko flowers do not look truly blue, add aluminum sulfate to your soil—alkaline conditions turn Nikko pink.) Potted plants. Zones 5-9.

This item ships at the proper planting time for your region in both spring and fall.
If the current shipping season is closed, your order will ship at the proper time in the next season.

This plant is so beautiful, It has grown so much since I purchased this from Gurneys. It is waist-high on me... very pleased with this bush, but the gurneys people cannot tell me what to add to the soil to make it red...so for now it is a dark pink.

Lyme is a great fertilizer to make the plant turn red.
