Hydrangea macrophylla Avantgarde™

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Hedi' Avantgarde™   –   Mophead Hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla Avantgarde™ is a vigorous deciduous shrub with exceptionally large mophead flower clusters reaching 25–30 cm in diameter and lasting for over 2 months. The blooms open in summer, starting off-white and becoming pale pink or powder blue depending on soil pH, before progressing through green tones, and finally to red in autumn, providing a long season of visual interest.

This impressive cultivar combines ornamental impact with disease resistance and reliable performance across diverse garden conditions. No cold period is needed to produce flowers, making it an excellent choice for warm climates. The oval, dark green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season. Avantgarde™ thrives in moist, well-drained soil and tolerates both acidic and alkaline soils, with flower colour influenced by soil pH. This variety suits mixed borders, specimen planting, and large container displays.

An outstanding, large-flowered mophead hydrangea with exceptional colour interest.
