Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Deep Purple Dance’
Common name: Mophead Hydrangea
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Deep Purple Dance’ is a striking deciduous shrub producing large, rounded mophead blooms in a rich, velvety purple. The flower colour is especially intense in acidic soils, where deep violet shades dominate. Blooms appear from mid to late summer and are held on strong stems above lush, dark green foliage.
This compact variety is perfect for borders, containers, or as a vibrant feature in partly shaded spots. It also makes an excellent cut flower. Like many mophead hydrangeas, it flowers on old wood, so prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape without sacrificing next year’s blooms.
Thrives in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Benefits from mulching and regular watering during dry spells.

Position: Sun to partial shade
