Producing masses of huge, conical-shaped blooms from June to October, this beautiful variety of hydrangea will make a dramatic statement in your garden.

This variety will make a magnificent feature plant for beds and borders in the garden or when potted up and placed on your patio or decking area. Alternatively, plant them in a group for a stunning display.

'Diamant Rouge' – produces incredible balls of burgundy-coloured flowers, which turn white as the season progresses. Standing tall and proud on their stems, each flower cluster can reach up to an amazing 40cm across. Flowers June to August. Eventual height and width: 1.5m x 1.2m.

Naturally sturdy and easy to grow and maintain. These hydrangeas will thrive in neutral to acidic, free-draining soil in a sunny or part-shaded spot. With very large flower clusters that can reach over 30cm across, these distinctive hydrangeas will fill your summer beds, borders or patio pots with wonderful colour.

Each year, strong, upright stems are produced with lush mid-green foliage, which are topped with huge, conical-shaped panicles of flowers that will quite simply take your breath away.

The buds open to hyacinth-like flowers in burgundy, and last for weeks before flushing with delicate colour tones.

If you can bear to cut them, the fresh blooms make an imposing display in a vase and the dried flowerheads can be used as a permanent decoration.

Top Tips
To extend the seasonal interest, leave some flowerheads on the plants over winter, where they will look gorgeous covered with frost  – and of course, they will provide shelter for overwintering wildlife.
Care Information
  • Just plant in position, water well, and add some fertiliser – they will burst into growth and flower profusely all summer!
  • These plants are at their best in moist soil as long as it is well-drained, in sun or part shade. The more sun the plant gets, the better the flower colour. A moisture-loving plant, remember to water regularly and deeply.
  • Hardy in the UK, frost can cause a lot of damage to young buds, reducing the number of flowers, so protect your plant with fleece if freezing weather is likely.
  • Pruning is generally best carried out in early spring. A general tidy-up is usually all that is needed and consists of removing the dead bloom from each stem, cutting back to the first strong, healthy pair of buds down from the faded flower.
  • As hydrangeas flower on the previous year's growth, in spring cut out 1 or 2 of the oldest stems at the base to encourage the production of new, replacement growth that will carry more flowers.
