Hydrangea aspera ‘Koki’ | Koki Plum Passion Hydrangea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hydrangea aspera 'Koki' is a deciduous shrub known for its unique and textured appearance. New leaf growth emerges in a deep purple-red, adding a dramatic flair to the plant in early spring. As the leaves mature, they transition to a rich green, but the undersides remain a striking dark burgundy purple, providing a beautiful contrast throughout the season. The large, velvety leaves contribute to a lush, tropical aesthetic. In mid to late summer, 'Koki' produces stunning lacecap flower heads, with a central cluster of tiny, mauve to lavender fertile flowers surrounded by a halo of larger, pale lavender or pink sterile florets. The combination of vibrant colors and varied textures gives 'Koki' a distinctive and elegant look, making it an excellent choice for adding visual and tactile interest to shaded garden areas, borders, or woodland setting.
