Hydrangea Next Generation® ‘Red Sensation’ PP (Hydrangea macrophylla hybrid)
Appropriately
named, ‘Red Sensation’
creates quite a show
of bright red snowball-
type flowers
during the summer to
fall blooming season.
Juvenile flowers emerge
lime green and turn red
and then deep purple
at full maturity. It can
be used as a standalone
accent container
plant on a patio or
plant it directly in the ground in a garden border or foundation planting. Flowering
starts in mid-summer and ‘Red Sensation’ will rebloom until the fall months. Once
the first wave of summer flowers finish blooming, cut off any remaining blossoms
to make room for the next round of fall flowers. Hydrangeas make beautiful,
long-lasting fresh or dried flower arrangements.
