Everlasting Crimson Hydrangea

This perennial hydrangea is a darling way to set apart a garden path or draw attention with a container. It has all that classic cottage and woodland garden style you’d expect from hydrangea, but we think this one’s something special. The blooms will transition through beautiful colors like apple green and bright pink…and then the really impressive rich, deep red in late summer. When all the other summer showstoppers are fading, this one gives you a blast of color in a difficult shade to find on hydrangea. You don’t get a rich red on a hydrangea easily. You’ll have no problem showcasing Everlasting Crimson either, it stays compact and develops strong stems which keep the flowers upright. It also blooms on old and new wood, so an unexpected spring freeze won’t damage all your developing buds. Come heavy blooms and cold springs, you’ll get the long season you’d expect from hydrangeas in the Everlasting collection. Keep plenty in the garden to attract butterflies, but do try some fresh or dried cut flowers—it performs so well in a vase.
