Lady in Red Hydrangea
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Lady in Red' PP#15,175
Lady in Red Hydrangea is remarkably beautiful throughout the growing season. The red veins, petioles and stems carry the color theme through the warm summer months. As fall’s cool weather arrives, the leaves develop a rich reddish-maroon color. Lady in Red is also unique among hydrangea cultivars because of its high mildew resistance. With plenty of blooms from spring to summer, it’s a wonderful addition to the garden.
