A multi-stemmed mophead hydrangea with a white margin to each flower, Hydrangea macrophylla Tivoli is a deciduous shrub with an upright, bushy, rounded habit. The large, ovate, slightly toothed leaves are deep green, turning red-purple in autumn. In the second half of summer and into autumn, dense clusters of mophead flowers are borne over a long season, rosy-pink edged with white on alkaline soil, and bluish-purple edged with white on acid soil. Hydrangea Tivoli can also be grown in a container. Will tolerate full sun in reliably moist soil. Good for pollinators.
