Product Description
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘White in Red’ is a beautiful deciduous shrub known for its striking two-tone flower heads that combine creamy white centres with vivid red edges. This unusual colour combination creates a dramatic display in summer, making it an excellent choice for garden borders, patio pots, or shaded garden areas.
As a mophead hydrangea, it produces large rounded flower clusters that stand out against dark green foliage. Like many hydrangeas, the flower tones can vary slightly depending on soil pH, with more acidic soils sometimes deepening the colour hues, while alkaline conditions encourage warmer pink-red shades.
This variety thrives best in partial shade and moisture-retentive soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens or areas that receive morning sun and afternoon shade. With its manageable size and reliable flowering, it works well in containers, mixed shrub borders, or as a feature plant in smaller gardens.
Supplied in a 3 litre pot, this hydrangea is well-established and ready to plant, bringing long-lasting seasonal colour to your outdoor space.
