Zone: 5GLOWING EMBERS BIGLEAF HYDRANGEA
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Glowing Embers' is commonly referred to as Glowing Embers Hydrangea. Glowing Embers is noteworthy for being one of the very few Hydrangeas able to tolerate full sun, resisting fading and scorching. This is a compact cultivar that features abundance 8" across, rounded flowerhead clusters that emerge lime green to white and mature to a very showy pink to red. Flower color is dependent on the acidity of the soil. Reds and pinks occur in more alkaline soils while blues and lavenders occur in more acidic soils. The addition of aluminum sulfate to the soil will encourage more vivid blue color and adding lime will produce pink flowers.
Glowing Embers thrives in partial sun in rich, organic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can grow in full sun as well, but does prefer afternoon shade. It is ideal grouped in the shrub border or as an accent or specimen plant. It is also beautiful in containers.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining, rich soil protected from the hot afternoon sun. For pink and blue Hydrangea macrophylla varieties, bloom color is pH-dependent; keep soil slightly acidic for blue tones or adjust toward neutral for pink. White varieties remain stable regardless of pH. Water consistently to maintain soil moisture, as this variety is sensitive to drying out. Mulch around the base to keep roots cool and moist.
