| History | Bred in The Netherlands, by Kolster BV and exclusively introduced by Monrovia. Like Hamptons, also in Monrovia’s Seaside Serenade® series, this is a tetraploid hydrangea bred for remarkable traits that make it naturally compact and robust. A breakthrough in hydrangea breeding, with serrated bicolored blooms forming big, long-lasting, mop-head blooms held on thick, tough stems with deeply colored, resilient foliage. Soil and water pH does not affect bloom color. |
