Gardeners yearning for the romance of Hydrangeas in their full sun gardens love Glowing Embers Hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Glowing Embers')! Producing vibrant mophead blooms made up of clusters of large florets, that transform from summer white to baby pink then deep, beaming red to subdue in purple for fall. The rounded and compact shape and smaller size mean any sized garden can accommodate these bright blooms!
Birds, butterflies, and bees will love the vibrancy of this midsummer-to-fall mophead blooms as beacons of welcome! With dark, glossy green leaves as background to vivid blooms, Glowing Embers Hydrangeas provide dramatic staging for your beautiful wildlife visitors! Snip a few stems for your bouquets, or let the mopheads dry on the plant for interior dried décor or winter interest!
Bigleaf Hydrangeas are widely adaptable throughout USDA zones 5-9 and only grow to 2-3 feet in mature height. These rounded deciduous flowering shrubs are very easy to care for. Glowing Embers is hardy and deer resistant, low maintenance, and even handles some shade in hotter climates! You may see your blooms taking on more of a bluish or purple hue in lower pH environments.
Planting and Application:
Often intermingled with evergreens for foundation planting, these compact but vigorous growers are excellent for bordering broad lawns, creating clustered focal points under tall trees, and at the center of dramatic pollinator gardens. Cottage and perennial borders, cheerful seating areas, and great along that strip between your home and the sidewalk.
These are small enough for container gardening and planters on porches and patios. Smaller plants like these shrubs make wonderful low property division and low privacy as well as backdrops and edging in border gardens and foundation plantings. The bright pink blooms highlight other shrubs in mixed plantings and add vivid color when planted en masse! Small enough that even urban courtyards and small spaces can enjoy their own classic Hydrangea shrub!
- Vivid Blooms White, Pink to Red
- Big Mophead Flower Clusters
- Great Cut & Dried Flower
- Compact Rounded Shrub
- Low Borders, Hedges, Specimen & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
For the most blooms and strongest growth, plant in full sun and partial shade, favoring morning sun and afternoon shade in the hottest summer climates. Plant Hydrangea in moderate, and consistent moisture and enriched organic soil as long as it is well-drained conditions.
Bigleaf Hydrangea bloom on new wood and usually all stems have a flower which is the amazing thing about this plant! Prune in the early spring to only remove winter dieback, or after flowering if needed, and only to encourage branching and not accidentally prune off next year's flowers.
