Description

The first ever truly dark-leaved mophead hydrangea, Eclipse® offers a stunning combination of beautiful flowers paired with intense foliage colour. The dark purple leaves hold their rich colour throughout the season, forming a dramatic backdrop to large flowerheads that range from dark purple to cranberry red depending on soil pH. Hydrangea ‘Eclipse®’ makes an eye-catching focal shrub for a mixed border, or large container. Pair it with yellow foliage for an exciting contrast. Height and spread: 90-150cm (3-5ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Hydrangea macrophylla prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any rich fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Alternatively plant hydrangea macrophylla in patio containers in soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3.
More Info
Water regularly until plants are fully established. Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. Prune after flowering, reducing the stems to restrict their growth to the available space and to improve the shape of the plant. After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: Contact with hydrangea foliage may irritate the skin and eyes and all parts are harmful if eaten.
