A stunning lacecap Hydrangea with dramatic, wine-red sterile flowers which are curiously cross-shaped. These surround clusters of pretty, pink-white fertile flowers for a lovely contrast. As with other Hydrangea macrophylla, the flowers change colour depending on your soil pH, taking on rich purple hues in more acid soils. Compact in habit, Hydrangea macrophylla 'Rotschwanz' is an eye-catching deciduous shrub which would make a fantastic specimen in borders, woodland gardens, cottage gardens or patio containers. It has earned a prestigous RHS AGM for its outstanding performance. Height and spread: 1.5m (5').
