Bold Blooms: 'Ruby' produces large, conical clusters of flowers that start off creamy white and gradually turn a deep ruby red as the season progresses, offering a stunning colour shift from summer into autumn.
Extended Bloom Time: This hydrangea variety blooms from mid to late summer, providing long-lasting interest and vibrant colour as many other plants start to fade.
Striking Foliage: In addition to its eye-catching blooms, 'Ruby' features dark green, serrated leaves that create a lush backdrop for the flowers. In autumn, the foliage may take on a rich burgundy hue, adding to its seasonal appeal.
Compact and Upright: Growing to around 120-150 cm in height with a spread of 90-120 cm, 'Ruby' is compact enough for smaller gardens, yet large enough to make a statement in mixed borders and as a standalone feature plant.
Sun to Partial Shade: 'Ruby' thrives in full sun to partial shade, performing best in areas that receive morning sun and afternoon shade, particularly in warmer climates.
Moisture-Loving: Like many hydrangeas, 'Ruby' prefers moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods, to ensure continuous blooming and healthy foliage.
Versatile Garden Use: Perfect for borders, hedging, or as a feature plant, 'Ruby' also works well in large containers and can be used in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Pollinator Friendly: The blooms of 'Ruby' attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, helping to support garden biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem.
Low Maintenance: This hydrangea is relatively low maintenance, requiring occasional pruning to shape and remove spent flowers. Deadheading can encourage additional blooms, and pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain its form.
