Hydrangea ‘Preziosa’ is an unusual yet spectacular variety of Hydrangea. It features large, orange-pink flower heads which are borne from summer through autumn. The flowers are complemented with lush, purple-green foliage. It grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form to about 1.2 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site with a slightly acidic soil. It is hardy to cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Hydrangea ‘Preziosa’ is a great variety for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, growing as an informal hedge, including in a cottage garden, or for planting around outdoor living areas.
