(Monrovia Nursery)

Enchantress is a beautiful reblooming hydrangea with its huge mophead flowers atop unique ruby-black stems. It blooms on both old and new wood. The flower clusters are up nine inches across. The tall, dark stems are pencil-thick, making excellent cut flowers in an arrangement or for drying and add winter interest to the garden. The stems are stunning against as the flowers as they fade to cream-splashed green. It grows well in warmer climates and is cold-hardy to Zone 5. ‘Enchantress’ has a rounded habit and will reach three to five feet tall and wide. It is superb for a container, accent, specimen, or border.
