Description

A Red Dwarf with Star-Shaped Blooms. Perfect for containers and the front of the border. Just two feet tall and wide, this charming dwarf makes a huge impact with bold, true-red blooms in mid- and late summer. Versatile for use in everything from containers to the patio garden to the front of the border. Hornli is a vigorous, well-shaped little shrub, with handsome toothed leaves that keep it attractive from spring through fall. The 3-inch blooms are ball-shaped and very long-lasting. Most "red" Hydrangeas are actually deep pink or lavender, but Hornli will amaze you with its fire-engine-bright color. It blooms on last year's stems, so be sure not to prune off the buds if you decide to trim it back in early spring. However, it's so compact and neatly-shaped that no pruning is necessary. Flourishing in the partly-shaded garden, Hornli is best in moist, well-drained soil. Water it well during its first year to establish a strong root system. Once established, it is very resistant to heat and humidity.
