This delicate yet statuesque hydrangea goes through a wonderful change of colours, starting cream with a deep red stem, deepening to rich pink and finishing a beautiful pewter. I've just put several of these into my new Dutch yard.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Wim's Red' reviews
Reviewed 11th August 2019 by Susan Beautiful plant - ordered this last September and have planted it in a large container - has been stunning all summer - started a dark cream and is now starting to turn pink (we're now in August). It smells heavenly! and now can't wait to watch it turn dark crimson. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Kate Looking really promising after only 10 months, beautiful colour |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Anna The wins Red hydrangea died due to the heat this summer . It was in a stone pot with all the right compost/ nutrients but I went ou one day and it completely dropped and despite giving it loads of water on my return I couldn’t revive it. 😥 |
