Hydrangea 'Tuxedo Mophead' (PBR) | Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Red'

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Tuxedo’ commands attention with its striking, deep purple-black foliage — the true showpiece of this unique variety. The richly coloured leaves create dramatic contrast, ensuring the plant looks exceptional even when not in flower.

In early spring, bold red flower clusters cover the compact, mounded shrub, standing out vividly against the dark foliage. Use Wonder Shake ’n Grow Pink Hydrangea Food to feed your hydrangea for strong, vibrant pink blooms. If your soil is very acidic (pH below 6), add a cupful of garden lime annually to raise the pH slightly and enhance red and pink tones.

Perfect for patios, mixed containers, or decorative indoor pots, ‘Tuxedo’ combines elegance and intensity in one easy-care plant. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens that crave colour and contrast throughout the seasons.
