Shade hydrangeas prefer moist soil and regular watering during the growing season.
Miss Saori Hydrangea represents the culmination of meticulous Japanese hybridization work by Mr. Irie, earning RHS Chelsea Flower Show Plant of the Year recognition in 2014. This variegated cultivar features distinctive rosy-pink edged white petals arranged in profuse tiered and mounded panicles throughout the extended bloom season. Dark foliage transitions seasonally from ruby-red spring tones to burgundy autumn hues, providing sustained chromatic interest beyond flowering. Hardy across zones 5–10 and reaching approximately 3 feet, this deciduous performer blooms reliably on both old and new wood, welcoming strategic pruning that encourages vigorous new growth and abundant bud development. Year-to-year vigor intensification ensures increasingly spectacular seasonal displays with minimal intervention.
