Hydrangea paniculata ' Wims Red' is a spectacular variety. Its strong, claret red stems carry 30cm (12) long, sweetly scented flowerheads which emerge white in July, colouring to pink in late summer. As autumn approaches the blooms finally mature to an intense wine red that provides a magnificent display. This fully hardy, deciduous shrub makes an excellent addition to mixed borders, providing a very long season of interest given its intriguing colour changes throughout the growing season. Height & spread: 2m (78).
