Hydrangea 'Glowing Embers'

Description

Enormous, 8-Inch Fuchsia Flowerheads

'Glowing Embers' is a never-ending sunset of breathtaking colors you won't soon forget. This mophead hydrangea flaunts massive domed blooms reaching up to 8 inches in diameter and casting a spell on all who witness its beauty. The flowers begin white or pale pink that darkens to a deep reddish purple like the sky at twilight. Incredibly extravagant and often hard to find on the market, this variety is considered one of the finest specimens of its kind. Despite its outspoken flowers, 'Glowing Embers' is quite diminutive, growing only a yard high and wide. This compact habit gives its plenty of versatility in the garden so that you can enjoy the sight of a sunset practically anywhere! Plant this beauty in full to partial shade (it takes more sun than most) and in well-drained soil and watch the drama of this woody plant unfold.

Pictures Do Deceive

I've had this one for 15 years. It has never been "red" nor has it glowed and embers. The description of this plant is deceiving, and so are the photos. I asked about the changing color of my hydrangea after the first year that it was in the ground, and the horticulturist at Wayside told me to add more lime. I added a gallon of lime and the end result changed the flowers from pink to a deeper pink and that was it. This is never going to resemble its name, so be aware.

Lives up to its name

I ordered 3 of these. Two were substantially larger than the third, but the third tiny plant had multiple flower buds on it. When it bloomed, the color was outstanding! Let's just hope this beauty stays as gorgeous in my acid soil. Curious to see how the color will change.
