Variety description

10 August 2026

The 'Red Emperor' variety was introduced in 1938 by Belgian breeder Émile Draps. In modern agronomic sources and reference books on hydrangeas, this variety practically does not appear as significant or widely distributed and is mentioned exclusively as rare.

In specialized databases and registers, including CPVO, information about the registration of this variety under the authorship of Draps-Dom does not find confirmation in available publications. The name 'Red Emperor' more often refers to other crops, such as Japanese maple or tulip, and is used in their context in specialized catalogs.
