Diamond Rouge Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub with foliage that turns yellow in fall. Its rounded, loosely packed panicles bloom on new wood in summer, opening white and gradually maturing to deep pink before turning wine red in fall. These flowers persist until the first frost and attract butterflies and pollinators. While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
