Hydrangea Aspera Sam Macdonald

Hydrangea aspera

Hydrangea aspera, also known as Rough Leaf Hydrangea, is a deciduous shrub admired for its large, lacecap flower heads featuring pink outer florets and a center of blue florets. Blooming from summer through autumn, these striking flowers sit above dark green foliage, adding elegance to any garden. Reaching approximately 1.2 metres in height and width, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of frost, coastal conditions, and humid climates. Ideal for mixed plantings, containers, cottage gardens, or as a feature around outdoor living areas, Hydrangea aspera brings year-round interest to New Zealand gardens.
