Characteristics and uses:
The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Rotschwanz' is a small shrub with a rounded shape which brings colour to your garden! Its abundant, flat, dark red with paler heart inflorescences last all summer and take on a wine red shade in the autumn. They will withstand a sunny spot in mild-summer areas but favour a partially shady site for your Hydrangea.
