'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.
