Hydrangea macrophylla 'Rotschwanz' is a distinctive lacecap hydrangea valued for its richly coloured flowers and elegant structure. In summer, flat flower heads appear with fertile central blooms surrounded by deep pink to red sterile florets, creating a bold yet refined display. The flower colour can vary with soil conditions, adding further interest. Best grown in moist soil and a sheltered, partially shaded position, this variety flowers mainly on old wood and requires only light pruning. A reliable and characterful hydrangea, it is well suited to borders and woodland-style planting.
