Hydrangea Black Diamonds Angel Purple 2 Litre Pot

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Black Diamonds Angel Purple' – Dramatic Colour & Elegant Blooms

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Black Diamonds Angel Purple' is a stunning deciduous shrub prized for its deep, dark foliage and vibrant purple mophead flowers. With its striking contrast and long flowering period, it adds a bold and beautiful presence to beds, borders, and containers.

Seasonal Highlights

• Spring: Glossy dark foliage emerges, setting the stage for a season of rich colour.

• Ultimate Height & Spread: 1 - 1.5m

• Summer: Large, showy mophead blooms in deep purple take centre stage, attracting pollinators and adding impact.

• Autumn: Flowers gently fade to dusky tones, while the dark leaves add drama to the fading season.

• Winter: Deciduous by nature, the bare stems can be left for winter structure or cut back in spring for a tidy shape.

Key Features

• Rich purple blooms – Eye-catching mophead flowers that intensify in colour through the season.

• Dark, almost black foliage – Creates a dramatic contrast to the vivid blooms.

• Compact, tidy habit – Ideal for smaller gardens or containers.

• Long flowering season – Blooms from early summer right through to autumn.

• Low maintenance – Easy to grow with minimal care once established.

Perfect For

• Borders and beds – Adds bold colour and structure, especially when planted en masse.

• Containers – Perfect for patios or terraces, where its compact size and rich colours shine.

• Mixed shrub planting – Pairs beautifully with other flowering shrubs and foliage plants.

• Shade gardens – Tolerates partial shade and adds a splash of vibrant colour.

Growing Tips

• Sun/Position: Prefers partial shade but will tolerate full sun in cooler climates.

• Soil: Moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Flower colour can vary with soil pH (purple tones in neutral to alkaline soil).

• Hardiness: Hardy throughout most of the UK.

• Care: Prune lightly in spring to remove spent blooms and encourage a neat shape. Mulch annually and water well in dry spells.

Looks Great With

• Hostas and Ferns – Their softer textures and shades of green contrast beautifully with the bold colours.

• Heuchera – Adds complementary foliage colour and texture.

• Other dark-foliaged plants – Enhance the effect by planting with Sambucus ‘Black Lace’ or dark-leaved Pittosporum.

• Spring bulbs – Underplant with spring bulbs like Crocus or Daffodils for a layered seasonal display.
