Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For container, small yard, or front-of-the-border accent, this 2-3' semi-dwarf sport of ?Alpengluhen? not only produces one crop of showy 4-6" red ball- shaped ?flowers? but often two, along with handsome glossy foliage. S-PSh/M
A little hydrangea with big options. This little vivid pink to red hydrangea makes a big impression. A hardy, easy to grow, and tidy plant which produces loads of ball shaped blooms against dark green, glossy leaves but stays compact for small gardens or containers. Masja is fun to grow in all kinds of places for reliable blooms.
A truly excellent Hydrangea -- a semi-dwarf hydrangea with big red mop head blooms and beautiful, glossy foliage. New, new, new to the trade. The color in neutral soil is very close to red! Blue of course in acid soil.

By: Lazy S'S Farm Nursery

This brilliant Mophead is considered one of the best by our propagator Jason. Big magenta flowers age to a dark rose sunrise swept by a high cirrus of blue. The rich green foliage is a hallmark of this selection and both the flowers and foliage bear up brilliantly in the sun.
