Hydrangea Aspera ‘Hot Chocolate’

Hydrangea aspera ‘Hot Chocolate’ is a distinctive Lacecap Hydrangea offering pretty pink and blue blooms up to 30cm (12″) across. The showy summer flowers, with violet-blue hearts and soft pink outer florets, contrast beautifully with the rich chocolate foliage. The unusual leaves offer a second surprise in autumn as they fade to deep green before turning to amber and golden shades. This robust, hardy shrub will flower right through summer with minimal care – even in poorer soils. This large, deciduous shrub has a neat habit and makes an ideal border filler. Height and spread: 3m (10′).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

The blue flowers will take on a pink hue as they fade through autumn and may also be affected by alkaline tap water or soil. For the deepest blue flowers right through the season we recommend the use of Hydrangea Colourant
