Details: Eclipse® live hydrangea bush is the first true dark leaf Hydrangea macrophylla! The dark foliage holds its color throughout the season, and pairs nicely with its dark purple or cranberry blossoms. This plant stands out well in a landscape or container. Eclipse® is the first mophead hydrangea to have dark leaves that will come back just as dark next season. The team at First Editions® worked on Eclipse® for over eight years to select, trial, and test Eclipse® to ensure that was the case, even for warm climate gardeners where other dark leaf hydrangeas can start to go green. Eclipse® has spectacular cranberry or amethyst-colored blooms that provide fantastic contrast to the dark leaves. In general, Eclipse® hydrangeas grown in alkaline soils will have cranberry flowers, while those grown in acidic soils will have amethyst flowers. Eclipse® is also a reblooming hydrangea, so you can enjoy a garden full of hydrangea blooms throughout the season.
