Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Elizabeth Ashley' is a classic and elegant shrubby hydrangea, prized for its large, spherical, deep pink to mauve-pink inflorescences with timeless charm. This non-recurrent variety flowers primarily on old wood, which gives it a spectacular bloom when the buds are well preserved. Its habit is naturally wider than tall, forming a dense and generous shrub, ideal for sheltered beds and traditionally inspired gardens. The deciduous dark green foliage, ample and textured, highlights the round flowers and provides a beautiful plant presence throughout the season. 'Elizabeth Ashley' is distinguished by its luxuriant appearance and rich flowering, offering a romantic and structuring effect in the garden when conditions are favorable.
