national PLANT NETWORK grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Eclipse Hydrangea is a unique and reliable deciduous shrub that provides a sophisticated, season-long layer of bold contrast to your landscape. Its compact, mounded shape features groundbreaking, velvety purple-black foliage that retains its deep, dark color from spring through autumn, beautifully accented by large mophead clusters of intense cranberry-red flowers. This tough, standout hydrangea is incredibly easy to grow, thriving in rich, moist, well-drained soils once established. Potted shrubs arrive ready to plant and acclimate quickly in well prepared soil. Plant in a location that receives bright morning sun and afternoon shade with good drainage, and water deeply 2-3 times a week to promote robust root growth and keep the dramatic foliage looking its absolute best. Once established, this versatile shrub will return year after year, serving as the perfect low maintenance garden centerpiece, bold border accent, or patio container centerpiece.
