Hydrangea serrata ‘Euphoria Pink’

Hydrangea serrata ‘Euphoria Pink’ is a stunning cultivar that gained recognition as the runner-up for ‘Plant of the Show’ at Chelsea in 2023. This compact shrub, reaching about 1 metre in height, is prized for its unique tricoloured foliage and vibrant lacecap flowers. In spring, the leaves emerge in an eye-catching combination of pink, green, and white, transitioning to a fresh green and white palette with pink-tinted new growth as the season progresses.

From June to August, ‘Euphoria Pink’ produces an abundance of lacecap-style flowers. These blooms open from pink buds into striking two-tone ruby-red flowers with pale pink-white centres. In acidic soils, the flowers transform into a captivating violet-blue with white centres, showcasing the classic colour-changing ability of Hydrangea serrata. This variety’s flowering coincides with its peak foliage display, creating a spectacular summer show.

Hardy down to -20°C, ‘Euphoria Pink’ is versatile enough for both border and container planting in various light conditions. Its compact form, coupled with the striking combination of variegated foliage and two-tone flowers, makes it an exceptional focal point in any garden setting, offering visual interest from spring through autumn.
