Fuchsia Glow Hydrangea is a compact reblooming deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and dark green leaves that turns burgundy or red in fall. The mophead flower clusters bloom on both old and new wood and have a strong color that depends on the soil PH - acidic soils produce blue while alkaline soils its signature fuchsia pink. The flowers attract pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
