Common Names: Variegated Bigleaf Hydrangea, Variegated Mophead Hydrangea, Variegated Hydrangea, Bigleaf Hydrangea

📌 Product Description

Hydrangea macrophylla Variegata is a deciduous to semi-evergreen ornamental shrub prized for its striking variegated foliage—green leaves edged with creamy white or pale yellow—that provides garden interest even when not in bloom. During summer and early autumn, it produces clusters of mophead-style flowers in shades of white, cream, or soft pink, offering an elegant and sophisticated display.

This variety combines foliage contrast and floral beauty, making it ideal for borders, feature plantings, containers, and mixed garden beds. Its variegated leaves make it a standout in temperate South African gardens, adding colour and texture year-round.
