Hydrangea Mathilda Gutges

Hydrangea Mathilda Gutges.  A compact shrub, bearing attractive deep-green leaves and large, rounded flower heads of deep pink in neutral soil, and intense violet-blue in acidic soil. Grow in moist, well-drained soil, in sun to partial shade. Provide shelter from drying winds. This hydrangea flowers on the previous season's wood and can be maintained by cutting back just to the first pair of buds beneath the old flower in spring.
