Hydrangea m. 'Eclipse' #2

This Bigleaf Hydrangea stands out with near-black, dark purple foliage. Not only is the foliage dark, but it also holds the color all season, and has exceptional disease resistance. The mophead flowers are just as fabulous as the foliage with petals that are cranberry pink with hints of yellow. Eclipse® can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide and looks stunning in any garden or container. For best leaf color and blooms in Illinois, grow this hydrangea in morning sun and afternoon shade. Eclipse® will reliably bloom on old wood and is hardy to Zone 5.
