Hydrangea 'Fraise Melba' - One of the Most Spectacular Hydrangea Varieties

Hydrangea 'Fraise Melba' is an evolution of the famous 'Vanille Fraise', offering even stronger stems and a more intense red autumn colour. Its giant cone-shaped flower heads undergo a dramatic colour transformation throughout the season, making it a true showstopper in any garden.

Colour Journey

• By autumn: The entire flower head deepens to a rich strawberry to purple-red
