Rosy Rita! This hydrangea is an early rosy pink to purple variety for us. This is probably a popular hydrangea for the florist market because of the compact nature, rich vivid pigments and big bloom size. Bred in 1964 by Belgium breeder Draps-Dom (our only one from this legendary breeder). Rosita has been in our acidic soil for just two years and it has turned a gorgeous purple!
