Hydrangea Brilliant

Hydrangea macrophylla Brilliant

Hydrangea macrophylla Brilliant is a bigleaf variety that features balls of pink and white flowers through summer and autumn. These are complemented by large, green leaves that sit perfectly with the flowers. It grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a rounded form to about 90 cm tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best growth is achieved in a full sun or partial shade position on a well-drained, sheltered site with a slightly acidic soil. It is hardy to cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Hydrangea macrophylla Brilliant is a great variety for mixed plantings, including in cottage gardens, maintaining in a container, or growing as an informal hedge. It also makes for a lovely backdrop for smaller plants, planting around outdoor living areas, or for using to contrast with other leaf forms and flower colours.
