Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Everlasting Opal’ is an elegant shrub hydrangea, prized for the exceptional longevity of its flowers and their gradual transformation into refined hues. The spherical inflorescences open in pearly pink to soft rosy tones, then evolve into opalescent green and slightly iridescent shades, retaining a strong decorative appeal long after flowering. This variety has a compact, spreading habit, clearly wider than it is tall, making it ideal for structured beds, neat borders, and container growing. The dark green, thick, lustrous deciduous foliage highlights the subtle patina of the flowers and provides a beautiful plant structure. ‘Everlasting Opal’ stands out for its reliable flowering, remarkable durability, and soft, sophisticated aesthetic throughout the season.
