Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Grin & Tonic’ is an original and very decorative shrubby hydrangea, appreciated for the striking evolution of its inflorescence color and its decidedly modern style. The large spherical flowers open in bright lime green tones, then progressively change to soft pink and then deeper pink during the season, offering a fresh and dynamic contrast to the garden. This variety has a compact and spreading habit, much wider than tall, forming a dense and harmonious plant ideal for structured beds, sheltered borders, and container cultivation. The dark green, thick, and shiny deciduous foliage highlights the transformation of the flowers and provides a beautiful green presence. ‘Grin & Tonic’ stands out for its changing effect, good floral retention, and prolonged decorative character.
