Hydrangea aspera 'Hot Chocolate'



15th August 2013


A new selection of Hydrangea aspera with reddish coloration in the new growth. I first saw it as a large with a rather upright habit. The late summer sun was shining through the leaves and the whole thing glowed with scarlet light. It was magnificent.
My young plant had been a little more mundane but I have hopes. It seems to be a little difficult as a young plant.

A seedling from H.a. 'Koki' raised by Maurice Foster. Selected in consultation with Jan Oprins and Harry van Trier.
