Eclipse Bigleaf Hydrangea 1 Live Plant – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Eclipse’ – Quart Pot

Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Eclipse’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub known for its dramatic dark purple-black foliage and vibrant pink-red flower clusters. Its distinctive leaf coloration provides strong contrast in garden beds, while the bright blossoms create a colorful summer display. The combination of deep-toned foliage and rounded flowers makes this hydrangea a striking choice for ornamental landscapes.

This bigleaf hydrangea develops a compact, rounded, bushy growth habit with broad leaves that retain their dark coloration through much of the growing season under suitable conditions. Large mophead flower clusters typically appear during summer, complementing the nearly black foliage. The plant works well in foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, accent beds, and appropriately sized outdoor containers.

This listing includes one live Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea in a quart-size nursery pot (QT). The plant prefers partial sun to partial shade, with protection from intense afternoon sunlight in warmer climates. It grows best in fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. As a deciduous shrub, it may arrive dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or with reduced foliage depending on the season.
