Hydrangea Leuchtfeuer is a striking deciduous shrub known for its vibrant, fiery red blooms that deepen in color as they mature. This compact variety of hydrangea typically grows to about 1.5 meters in height, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or containers. It thrives in partial shade and well-drained, moist soil. The flowers are complemented by rich green foliage that provides a beautiful contrast, and they can be used as cut flowers. Leuchtfeuer blooms from mid-summer to autumn, offering a long-lasting burst of color to any garden.
Hydrangea's lose their leaves in winter and look bare with just stalks. View these tips below to care for your hydrangea through winter.
