Hydrangea aspera Hot Chocolate - Chocolate Leaf Hydrangea

Product ref: S4Q005

Availability: Out of stock

Hydrangea aspera Hot Chocolate is a recently introduced variety with large lace-cap flowers. Around the edge of each flower head are attractive pink blossoms, and in the heart, blue flowers. These are all held at the end of sturdy brown-red twigs. What's more, this Hydrangea looks good enough to eat when it's not in flower, the underside of the leaf is a striking burgundy colour, whilst the top is chocolate brown, fading to deep green later in the season.

These unusual Aspera Hydrangeas are tough, easy to grow, and thrive on virtually any soil and position. 'Hot Chocolate' is a fully hardy shrub that will look great in your garden.

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.

Birthday gift

I bought this Hydrangea when the plant was dormant ,the size was large but as you would expect it was just branches and few new leaf shoots. It was planted out after the last ground frost and is now full of new growth ,beautiful chocolate stems and leaves we are waiting for the flush of flower heads. The quality of the plant is outstanding it was packed really and I was kept up dated about delivery .I did have to wait as it does say they will not send plants out if weather conditions may harm the plant which I am very happy about. The price was very competitive and great value. I did have to do a bit of research before planting because I am not a expert gardener .I have bought other plants from garden express before and all the plants have done well a great company if you are looking for something that is a little bit special.100% Happy customer

Photo's don't do the foliage justice!

Wow! Just Wow!
The foliage alone is spectacular.... the flowers are a bonus. The image of the foliage provided here just doesn't come close to it's beauty: beautiful purple underside with its green/chocolate 'good' side which is covered in silvery velvet hairs that shimmer in the sunlight. Large leaves, I haven't seen anything else like it so its a great statement plant to break the monotony. Highly recommend.
