Hydrangea macrophylla Green Revolution™

Revolution - but in green!

Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, Green Revolution has challenged our color pallet by offering a step away from the common blues and pinks we tend to think of in our treasured Revolution. In soft hues of green and red, Green Revolution not only flowers on new and old wood, making it sure to bloom for everyone, but the flowers don’t set seed. So, once they show color, they bloom until fall! Later in the summer, as flowers mature, firm, latex-like blooms fade to a magical color combination of dark-green with red tips, before turning red with tints of green over a long period of time. Ideal for the patio with all-summer-flower-power or along a garden path, just like its predecessor, it comes with the same promise of 150 days of color!
