This is an excellent Hydrangea that has multi-seasonal interest. Beautiful mophead-like flowers during the Summer. In the Fall, the flowers, leaves and stems darken and take on a burgundy tone. I highly recommend this Hydrangea.

The mophead flowers on this variety are smaller, more compact than most. Very elegant.
