Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Early Rose’ Description

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Early Rose’ is a compact deciduous mophead hydrangea producing rounded flower clusters in rose-pink shades earlier than many conventional cultivars. In acidic soil the blooms may develop mauve or purple tones. 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. Shelter from cold wind and late frost is important because the early flower buds can be damaged. It is well suited to large containers and protected Irish borders. Maintain regular watering during spring and summer. Prune lightly after winter, removing faded flowers and dead stems while preserving healthy older growth.
