Shamrock® Hydrangea 

 hydrangea macrophylla 'Shamrock'

A cool new Hydrangea in the Japanese tradition with masses of large, doubled, pink lace-cap flowers.

Flowering begins in July and as the season progresses they transform into breathtaking shades of red and deep pink. On acid soils the flowers are more violet.

Very floriferous and long blooming. More compact and tends to be more frost resistant than most Japanese types.

Developed by the world famous French hydrangea expert Corinne Mallet. This superb new plant pays tribute to Association des amis de la Collections D'Hydrangea Shamrock (French Hydrangea Society) and a portion of the royalties are used to support their Hydrangea collection near Dieppe in Upper Normandy.


USDA Zone 5 -8

Hardy to zone 5b.  Supplemental winter protection recommended north of zone 6.  We are in zone 5a and have them bloom if the winter is not too severe.  Under extreme winter conditions, this will die back to the ground and sprout new growth from the roots in spring.  Since blooms are developed on one year old wood, it would not bloom that year.

Bloom Time: Late June through September.

 3 to 4 feet high and wide with age.

Full sun to shade

 Adaptable to many soils, moderate moisture

This is a patented variety and all royalties have been paid.  Patent tag included.  Unauthorized propagation or sale of plant parts for propagation is prohibited by law.

TWO GALLON SIZE:  Shipped out of pot with rootball wrapped.  No long distance shipping in July-August.
