Hydrangea serrata ‘Kurenai’

An exquisite Japanese cultivar with perfectly formed lacecaps of well spaced sterile florets, with usually only three sepals each. These sterile florets start white and turn through pink-red to intense crimson, contrasting completely with the cream inner fertile florets. As if this wasn't good enough, the foliage gains maroon tinting as it matures. A shrub to 1m.
