Eclipse Bigleaf Hydrangea 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 3 Gallon – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Eclipse’

Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla Eclipse®) is a distinctive deciduous flowering shrub admired for its exceptionally dark foliage and richly colored summer blooms. Its dramatic deep purple to nearly black leaves create a striking contrast with rounded flower clusters in shades of cranberry pink, rosy red, or dark purple. The combination of dark foliage and vibrant flowers gives Eclipse® an unusual ornamental appearance throughout the growing season.

This bigleaf hydrangea develops a compact, rounded, bushy growth habit, making it suitable for foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, cottage gardens, decorative landscape beds, and large outdoor containers. Its dark foliage provides visual interest even when the plant is not flowering. Eclipse® performs best in partial shade, particularly with morning sunlight and protection from intense afternoon heat. It prefers fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Flower coloration may vary depending on soil conditions and other environmental factors.

Each order includes 1 live Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea shrub supplied in a 3-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. As a deciduous shrub, it naturally loses its leaves during winter dormancy. Depending on the season, plants may arrive leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers. Foliage color intensity may vary with sunlight, temperature, and seasonal conditions.
