The dark leaves on Eclipse are as impressive in the garden as they are in the plant world! Eclipse is the first mophead hydrangea to have dark leaves that will come back just as dark next season.
While the leaves are quite a sight, you can’t forget about the hydrangea flowers! Eclipse has spectacular cranberry or amethyst-colored blooms that provide fantastic contrast to the dark leaves. Like other Hydrangea macrophylla, the color of the flowers depends on the soil pH. But in general, Eclipse hydrangeas grown in alkaline soils will have cranberry flowers, while those grown in acidic soils will have amethyst flowers. Eclipse is also a re-blooming hydrangea, so you can enjoy a garden full of hydrangea blooms throughout the season.
