Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a deciduous shrub with a rounded crown shape, reaching a height and width of 90 cm to 1.5 meters. The foliage is dark green, typical for the species. The plant has sturdy shoots and a compact habit.

The mophead-type inflorescences have a spherical shape. The color of the flowers changes sequentially: from a greenish shade to red and, ultimately, to deep pink. In acidic soils, the inflorescences acquire lavender-violet tones. The flowering period lasts from summer to autumn.

The variety belongs to USDA hardiness zones 5–9. It exhibits increased flowering reliability compared to other hydrangea varieties. The plant is suitable for creating borders, hedges, container cultivation, as well as for cutting and drying inflorescences.
