Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Amor Purple’ Description

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Amor Purple’ forms a compact, rounded deciduous shrub with broad green leaves and dense mophead flower clusters in violet, purple and blue-purple shades. Colour intensity is strongest in acidic soil where aluminium is available, while blooms may become pinker in alkaline conditions. Plants generally reach around 80cm to 1.2 metres high and wide. Grow in partial shade or gentle morning sun in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains evenly moist but drains freely. It is suitable for large containers and sheltered Irish borders. Water with rainwater where local tap water is alkaline and use ericaceous compost for reliable purple-blue colour. Prune lightly in spring, removing faded flower heads and dead wood without cutting back healthy stems.
