Plants Nouveau Everlasting Series Is A Gift-To-Garden Hydrangea

By Sara Tambascio|July 8, 2011

Plants Nouveau’s new, hardy, gift-to-garden hydrangeas are just as happy growing as a holiday crop in the greenhouse as they are outside in a Zone 5 garden.

Gardeners will note the mop heads of the Everlasting Series with their variety of colors, handsome foliage and sturdy habits. Each stem is a bouquet, and even a young plant makes a show worthy bouquet.

These hydrangeas got their start as strong-stemmed cut flowers, but they have proven to be outstanding plants overall and garden hardy. Bred by the team at Kolster BV, in The Netherlands, Everlasting Amethyst, Coral, Garnet, Harmony and Ocean combine the bold blooms of cut flowers with the long lasting qualities of a gift item and the hardiness of a shade-loving garden plant all in one. Shiny, dark green foliage complements the flowers and makes a lovely foil for other plants.
