Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Merveille Sanguine’

A stunning, distinct and much sought after cultivar. A mophead with intense, deep-red florets turning a deliciously rich dark-maroon, or the most intense royal purple on very acid soils, over thick textured, deep-maroon tinged foliage, darkening as the season progresses. Best in sun, as long as it doesn't get excessively dry. Makes a medium sized bush.
