Hydrangea, Mophead Hydrangea 'Deep Purple'

Per RHS Plants:
"One of the new breed of mophead hydrangeas, this one was chosen by us for the intensity of the flower colour. To ...Read Moreget the best colour, you should apply hydrangea colourant at regular intervals, but even when grown in normal or alkaline soils the flower colour will revert to a good shade of pinkish red. Long-flowering additions to the summer border, hydrangeas are one of the best-loved and hardest working of all the shrubs and therefore have become a staple.

Garden care: Leave the old flower heads in place through the winter. As the new shoots start to emerge in spring cut back a third to a quarter of the previous seasons flowering stems to the base and cut back the remaining flower heads to the first pair of buds."
