A phenomenal breakthrough for smooth hydrangea.
Liven up your landscape with a dose of scarlet bliss. A stunning breakthrough, Ruby is the world's first red- flowered smooth hydrangea and it truly deserves its legendary position. Its flowers begin a deep burgundy and steadily brighten to cherry red and finally a snowy pink. These bloom clusters are not only miraculous in their color-changing ability but also in their contrast with their dark green foliage. The stems are robust and thick - perfect for cutting and adding these blooms to arrangements.
Ruby is a Goldilocks size for shrubs - not so petite you would overlook it, but not so large that it wouldn't flourish in a spacious container. Expect blooms from summer and well into fall. Butterflies love this plant too, so expect to see them added to the parade of colors in your garden as well.
