Family Hydrangeaceae

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Everlasting Amethyst', or bigleaf hydrangea, is a compact ornamental shrub known for its abundant and long-lasting blooms with rich colors. Its globe-shaped flowerheads appear in summer in deep purplish-pink tones, which may vary slightly depending on soil pH. This series is distinguished by the exceptional longevity of its flowers, which retain their intensity and dry beautifully on the plant. Its dark green foliage enhances the blooms throughout the season. Ideal in pots, borders, or beds, it adds a sophisticated touch to small gardens. Less hardy than panicle hydrangeas, it prefers a sheltered location, rich and well-drained soil, and winter protection in cold climates.
