Hydrangea macrophylla 'Alpengluehen' - Glowing Alps Large Flowered Hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Alpengluehen' is a striking hydrangea that captivates with its rich, velvety red to pink blooms. Flowering from early to late summer, its rounded clusters stand out boldly against the backdrop of lush, dark green foliage, creating a dramatic display that intensifies in acidic soils, where blooms may take on purplish-red tones.

Compact and rounded in form, reaching 0.5-1 metres tall and wide, ‘Alpengluehen’ is ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a vivid accent in cottage, woodland, or shade gardens. It thrives best in partial shade, especially in hotter climates, and prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil. Protection from harsh afternoon sun helps preserve its vibrant color. To maintain its shape and encourage flowering, prune lightly after blooming—avoid heavy spring pruning, as it blooms on old wood. Mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Supplied in approx 2-3 litre containers.
