Description
Lady in Red Hydrangea is a lacecap that produces some of the most beautiful and unique flowers we’ve seen on a Hydrangea. The pinkish center florets are surrounded by a ring of white single petaled flowers. The flowers will turn to deep burgundy or red as they mature. Stunningly beautiful! Â Lime can be applied to increase the alkalinity of the soil and may offer more brilliant red flower color. The leaves of Lady in Red Hydrangea are large and dark green in color, and turn to colorful red shades in fall. Throughout the growing season the leaf veins and stems are red. No wonder they named this gorgeous plant Lady in Red!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing naturally 3-5 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide in a rounded mound, Lady in Red Hydrangea can be grown in garden beds or containers. It is ideal for use as a specimen or accent in home foundation plantings, flowering shrub borders and perennial gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is especially dramatic in small to large groupings or in straight or staggered rows as a colorful hedge.
Spacing:Â Â 3-4′ for solid hedges;Â 8′ or more for space between plants
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know that it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and place back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Lady in Red Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones and part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones. For best flowering, we suggest 4 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Flower color is your choice. Acidic soils will make blue flowers while a neutral to slightly alkaline soil will make pink flowers.
Note:  Lady in Red is a Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). This means that even though it is tempting to cut them back in the winter, when they are only bare sticks jutting out of the ground, don’t do it. The flower buds are already formed and hidden in those bare sticks, so don’t cut them off if you want flowers.
