Hydrangea 'Diamant Rouge'

Hydrangea 'Diamant Rouge' brings a touch of drama to the garden that few other hydrangeas can rival. This striking panicled hydrangea starts its summer performance with creamy white blooms, which gradually warm through soft pink tones before deepening into a rich, jewel-like red as the season matures. The transformation is so vivid it’s almost theatrical—like nature’s own slow-motion light show. Forming a bushy, upright shrub with dark green leaves, Hydrangea 'Diamant Rouge' produces large domed flower heads reaching up to 30cm across, each one catching the sunlight and glowing brighter as summer gives way to autumn.

Hardy, elegant, and generous with its display, Hydrangea paniculata 'Diamant Rouge' thrives in full sun or partial shade and is surprisingly unfussy about soil type, provided it drains well. Its sturdy stems ensure the heavy flower heads remain upright and dignified, even after a downpour. Perfect for borders, mixed plantings, or as a standalone statement shrub, 'Diamant Rouge' is one of those plants that looks effortlessly poised—whether paired with ornamental grasses or surrounded by softer perennials. With its long flowering season and ever-changing palette, Hydrangea 'Diamant Rouge' doesn’t just earn its place in the garden; it demands admiration from July right through to October.
