<i>Hydrangea aspera </i> ‘Monpulsel’ | Plum Passion Improved Hydrangea
DESCRIPTION
Hydrangea aspera 'Monpulsel' is a deciduous shrub renowned for its large, flattened clusters of rich, blush and lavender lacecap flowers. The dark green-purple, coarse-textured leaves contribute to the plant's overall appeal. Foliage lightens in autumn, while the undersides turn a beautiful burgundy. 'Plum Passion Improved’ prefers well-draining soil with organic matter and partial shade, particularly in regions with hot summers. Adequate moisture is crucial, but waterlogged conditions should be avoided. Light pruning is generally recommended to remove dead wood and shape the plant.
