A strongly growing Hydrangea with bright red stems. Treat much like a Cornus (Dogwood) and cut back to 30cm high in spring in order to encourage the best growth of brightly coloured stems.
The flowers go through three stages, opening as a bright white, fading to pink and then changing to deep red. The best flower colour will be achieved if the plant is placed in a sunny position.
