The Heart Throb Hydrangea, part of the Southern Living Plant Collection, stands out with its dark red blooms that are edged in green, evolving to green with red nuances throughout three seasons, creating a lasting impression. This compact Hydrangea variety is perfect for adding a pop of color as an accent, lining borders, filling containers, creating edging, forming low hedges, or establishing mass plantings. Included with your purchase is one 2.5 Quart Heart Throb Hydrangea plant, each housed in plastic pots filled with soil. To ensure they arrive in the best condition, the pots are securely wrapped in a poly bag to maintain moisture and contain any soil that may dislodge during shipping. For customers residing outside of the southeastern United States, we advise ordering in the milder seasons of Spring or Fall to avoid the risks of heat or cold stress during transport.
