Hydrangea aspera ‘Bellevue’

A magnificent new, triploid, giant French form, from the garden of the same name. A cross between subsp. sargentiana and 'Macrophylla', this looks like the former, but with the intensity of flower colour of the latter and with bigger inflorescences than either. This enjoys a little shade, where it will reach up to a magnificent 4m in ideal conditions. Awesome, and in many ways the ultimate aspera.
