Description
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Pistachio’ is an original and very decorative shrub hydrangea, appreciated for its evolving blooms with nuanced and unusual shades. This variety stands out for its large spherical inflorescences combining pistachio green, antique pink, and touches of red or cream at the end of flowering, offering a unique multi-coloured effect. Its general habit is compact, rounded, and well-branched, ideal for neat borders, light shade flowerbeds, and container cultivation. The deciduous dark green foliage, broad and textured, perfectly highlights the complexity of the flowers. ‘Pistachio’ primarily blooms on the previous year's wood, which makes winter protection important in cold regions. Highly sought after for its strong ornamental interest, it brings a sophisticated and original touch to both classic and contemporary gardens.
