It is easy to see why these new Tuxedo Hydrangeas stand out from other Hydrangeas. The flowers are big, lushly bold and cover most of the plant, but it's the foliage of the Tuxedo Hydrangeas which is really the hero. The deep purple/black flushed leaves make anyone do a double-take ... which means these Hydrangeas look brilliant in the garden even when they are not in flower. A plant this striking and showy is perfect for making a statement, line them up along the edge of a patio to dress a space for a celebration, nest them into mixed container plantings for impact, or simply slip into a decorative pot and place Tuxedo Hydrangea indoors where it can be admired like cut flowers. Two colours are available this season Red and Pink. Grown under licence in New Zealand. Why Hydrangea flowers can change colour: here is a quick guide, for more detail checkout soil pH and changing the colour of your hydrangeas on the web. Alkaline soils - pH of 7.0 and above, are conducive for pink to red Hydrangeas. Acidic soils - pH of 6.0 and under provide blue flowering Hydrangeas. In the garden, if your red Hydrangeas are turning purple you need to increase your pH by adding 1/2 cup of garden Lime per plant every two months to keep the flowers red. Top Tip: adding a cup full or garden Lime around the plant each year if your soil is acidic (low pH under 6) will increase the redness in the flower.
