One of the 'Magical' series of Hydrangeas, 'Allegretto' is an abundantly flowering, compact, multi-stemmed and beautifully formed mophead variety. 'Allegretto' certainly gets itself noticed, with its prolific display of large, rich, bright red summer flowers that fade to burgundy flushed with green. The foliage takes on red and orange tones in autumn before falling, leaving behind the faded flower heads that make a striking feature over the winter. Compact enough for container gardens and small spaces 'Allegretto' will grow into a loose mound of large leaves, making a statement wherever it is planted. When grown in a pot, this magnificent Hydrangea will bring a touch of drama to your patio or balcony. Being a mophead, the large flower heads consist of sterile coloured bracts which look like flowers and these are super as cut flowers for both summer colour and dried winter arrangements. Easy to grow and relatively compact - it reaches just 1.5m (5ft) high and wide - this is a hydrangea which can be grown by anyone whatever their level of experience. Supplied as an established plant in a 14cm pot, ready for planting.
