Preziosa Mountain Hydrangea

The Preziosa Hydrangea is a unique plant with flowers whose color is not affected by the acid or alkaline balance of your soil. The blooms pass from pale green through yellow to white, and then turn pink, then red and finally burgundy. The leaves change too beginning purple in spring, turning green for summer and then deep burgundy in fall – rare in hydrangeas. A compact 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, it’s ideal for beds and borders, lining a path or drive, or for growing in planters and containers.

• Ever-changing blooms from white to pink and dark-red
• Large mophead flower-heads on a compact bush
• Flower colors are unaffected by your soil acid/alkaline balance
• Blooms from mid-summer into fall
• Burgundy leaves in fall, and purple in spring

Grow the Preziosa Hydrangea in partial shade, with some sheltered from the full heat of the sun. In cool zones it will grow in full sun with moist soil. The soil should be moist, rich, but well-drained, and it doesn’t matter what the pH value is. Pests or diseases are normally absent, and some mulch, summer watering and dead-heading are all the care it needs.
