Hydrangea serrata 'Fire on the Mountain' - Beautiful new, glossy foliage is flushed in dark red-maroon and slowly infuses some green in the mix for an overall maroon-bronze appearance from afar. New leaves erupt very dark maroon wine and in sun the leaves tend to hold onto much of the depth of this color. The leaves erupt in fire in autumn again. Showy, light pink lace cap flowers in late spring last for many weeks in summer. They are simply beautiful atop the foil of dark red foliage. These are full sun tolerant given their soil is fertile and constantly moist. Indeed, we expect in more sun the foliage color will be even deeper, more glowering and last longer. Site it with a variegated cohort for drama and contrast. For gardeners towards the northern end of its range spring planting is advised. Established potted Mountain Hydrangea, cutting grown.
