    Large rounded flowerheads form on the lustrous near-black stems of this brand new hydrangea from midsummer. Emerging a vibrant shade of green, but turning to blue (or pinker shades if grown on neutral to alkaline soils) as they mature, before taking on russet tones in autum. Creating a magnificent informal hedge, this recently introduced shrub will also make a fine spectacle of itself in a mixed border or large pot.

  • Garden care:To enhance flowering prune in spring, cutting back the flowered stems to a strong pair of buds below each flower-head. Once established, remove a quarter to a third of the old shoots to the base of the plant.
