Hydrangea macrophylla 'Red Sensation’ Red Flowering Mophead Hydrangea Zones 4b-9 Partial Sun to Full Sun PATENT #18,197 'Red Sensation' is a newer selection that was found in the The Netherlands as a sport on the cultivar 'Early Sensation'. While 'Early Sensation' displays baby pink blooms, 'Red Sensation' is known for displaying a deeper red to red purple blooms. While 'Red Sensation' is known for this red color, a pH lower than 5.5 will often result in more blue color. For best deep red color we prefer a pH of 6 or greater. 'Red Sensation' blooms on both the old wood and new wood, which makes this an excellent hydrangea for everyone, even those who have harsh winters. 'Red Sensation' may reach 2-3 ft in height and width in 10 years. This small stature makes 'Red Sensation' great for small spaces or containers. Remember that in zone 5 and colder plants in containers should be protected. 'Red Sensation' was brought to the United States by our good friends at Concept Plants. Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of woody ornamentals, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the woody ornamentals you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
