Hydrangea Macrophylla ‘Ruby Tuesday’ (PBR)

Flowering for several months from midsummer, this easy and undemanding shrub puts on a dazzling display with its large, colour-changing flower heads. The display kicks off in midsummer, when domed clusters of pink flowers start opening from bud. Then as the seasons change from summer to autumn, the colour of each bloom intensifies and matures to a deep claret-purple. Only recently introduced, but already picking up the awards, this is a spectacular addition to the garden.
