Hydrangea macrophylla 'Alpengluhen'

Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Alpengluhen') is a magnificent flowering shrub known for its enormous, mophead flowers. Growing up to 6 feet tall and wide, the shrub produces huge clusters of deep rose flowerheads from midsummer through late summer. Its large, dark green glossy leaves create an impressive backdrop for the striking blooms. The blooms appear on old wood, so prune after flowering to avoid cutting off next years flowers. These hardy native shrubs thrive in full sun to partial shade and will reward you with a show stopping display each year.
