Hydrangeaceae
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Cherry Explosion' lives up to its name with its flat, intense cherry-red flowers with white centers, which form a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. This unique cultivar attracts attention all summer long with abundant, sustained blooms. Perfect for flower borders or beds in partial shade, it maintains a beautiful compactness and tolerates growing in pots well. Its vibrant color, uncommon among hydrangeas, makes it a real focal point.
