Hydrangea macrophylla 'Princess Beatrix'



11th August 2006


'Princess Beatrix' has a warm even purple which glows attractively under the trees during July and August. With a bit more sun, I imagine it would become a lot less appealing.

I have been growing it in the garden for thirty years and I finally decided it needed a better position than the rather dry shady place it occupied. I dug it up, moved it to the border of blue Hydrangeas, and it promptly died. I may have a rooted cutting about somewhere. If not I will keep an eye out for another because I liked it.
