Glowing Embers Hydrangea Bush

Glowing Embers is a richly-colored hydrangea for your shadiest garden spot. Tolerant of full shade and moderately salt tolerant, this compact woody shrub is ideal for filling in that hard-to-mow, shady corner; just protect it from direct salt spray. Displaying vibrant shades of rose-red to violet-blue, depending upon the pH of your soil, each humongous, 8-inch mophead blossom will mature to exhibit many of the shades you'll see in a sunset, just before night falls. Even the foliage opts in for the color-change, first having a thin burgundy margin and then filling in to be completely red before dropping in the fall.

Companion Planting: Aster, Astilbe, Dicentra, Viburnum
