The original Forever & Ever Hydrangea, this beauty boasts large clusters of blooms that turn either pink or blue depending on the soil pH. Attractive in a border or bed, and its compact growth habit also makes for a lovely container planting. Enjoy an abundance of blanketing flowers, even after harsh Northern winters—hardy blooms appear on both old and new wood. Clusters of blooms and big, deep green foliage, are all great additions to both cut- and dried-flower arrangements. Hydrangea macrophylla 'Early Sensation'
