Hydrangea serrata 'Beni' (L)

Description

Certainly one of the most striking Hydrangeas that we currently have in our collection in regard to flowers. We originally received this from Japan as 'Beni Nishiki' which translates literally as 'Red Variegated.' Though the variegation was unstable and quickly disappeared, the deep red lacecap flowers are amongst the most intensely saturated of any Hydrangea cultivar we have observed. Ultimately to 4 ft., in partial shade or full sun in humus-rich, acidic soil.
