Hydrangeaceae
Hydrangea serrata 'Tuff Stuff Red' is a very hardy mountain hydrangea with vibrant red to purplish-red lacecap flowers, depending on soil acidity. Raspberry-red sterile florets frame delicate fertile buds in the center, adding a refined and natural touch to the display. Its medium green foliage sometimes takes on bronze hues in autumn, extending its ornamental interest. It forms a rounded, compact shrub, well-suited for borders, small beds, and foundation plantings. Like all cultivars in the Tuff Stuff series, it blooms on both old and new wood, ensuring flowering even after a harsh winter. 'Tuff Stuff Red' is an excellent option for northern climates seeking colorful, consistent blooms without compromising on hardiness.
