Introducing Fairytrail Fresco™ Cascade Hydrangea, the newest and most colorful cascade hydrangea! This award-winning hydrangea boasts gorgeous blue or pink mophead blooms in late spring, transitioning to vibrant green foliage in summer. Come fall, the foliage transitions to a stunning, rich red color, adding an additional season of interest. Its cascading habit is perfect for containers, hanging baskets, or mixed beds, thriving in hot, part sun gardens. Flower color will be dependent on soil chemistry.
