Hydrangea Eclipse First Edition 1 x 12cm Plant

The first dark-leaved mophead hydrangea Deep purple-black foliage from spring to autumn Cream flowers mature to pink, red or purple Outstanding feature shrub for borders and patio containers Some plants quietly complement the garden. Hydrangea 'Eclipse First Edition' was bred to steal the show. Its remarkable deep purple-black foliage emerges in spring and retains its dramatic colouring throughout the season, making it unlike any other mophead hydrangea. Large, rounded flowerheads open in soft creamy white before gradually deepening to rich pink, crimson-red or purple, depending on your soil pH. The changing flowers create an ever-evolving display, while the dark foliage provides spectacular contrast that makes every bloom stand out even more. Together they create one of the most striking colour combinations you'll find in the garden. Whether planted as a statement specimen in a border or showcased in a large patio container, 'Eclipse First Edition' brings bold structure, exceptional foliage and months of colour to outdoor spaces. Thriving in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in partial shade or a position with morning sun and afternoon shade, it's an easy-care deciduous shrub that rewards year after year.
