Tilt-A-Swirl® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Tilt-A-Swirl’) is a distinctive flowering shrub admired for its unusual red and green bicolor blossoms. Its rounded mophead flower clusters display an eye-catching combination of rich red, rosy pink, and fresh green tones. As the flowers mature, their colors deepen and shift, creating swirling patterns that continue changing throughout the flowering season.

This ornamental bigleaf hydrangea develops a compact, rounded, bushy growth habit with broad, deep green foliage that provides an attractive backdrop for its colorful flowers. Tilt-A-Swirl® is a reblooming hydrangea that can produce flowers from summer into fall under favorable growing conditions. Its multicolored blooms make it suitable for foundation plantings, cottage gardens, mixed shrub borders, decorative landscape beds, and large outdoor containers. It performs best in partial shade, particularly with morning sunlight and protection from intense afternoon heat, and prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Each order includes 1 live Tilt-A-Swirl® Bigleaf Hydrangea shrub supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. As a deciduous shrub, it naturally loses its foliage during winter dormancy. Depending on the season, plants may arrive leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers.
