The first truly dark-leaved Bigleaf Hydrangea, Eclipse® has foliage as black as night, which holds its coloration well throughout the growing season and nearly upstages the shrub’s blooms. Yet the latter are stunning in their own right, having unusually bright red-and-pink florets with creamy white centers. (The blossoms may be more purplish depending on soil conditions.) This heavy bloomer sets abundant flower buds in fall, so we discourage cutting it back anytime after mid-June or pruning later in the season. This showstopping shrub maintains its good looks thanks to resistance to common Hydrangea diseases, including powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot. A First Editions® variety.
