Monrovia Hydrangea

4.6

Best choice for gardeners seeking versatile, color-changing blooms and striking stems.

These mopheads offer a masterclass in garden drama, trading standard green stalks for moody, ruby-black stems. While you’ll need to manage your soil pH to dictate the final bloom color, the trade-off is a versatile, reblooming shrub that looks just as good in a vase as it does in the ground.
