Red N' Pretty® Hydrangea Shrub

Red N’ Pretty® is Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Monred’, a deciduous, rounded shrub with glossy green foliage and bold red-violet mophead flowers. The large summer flower clusters are useful for cutting, and the plant’s moderate growth keeps it within a defined garden space. ## Flowers and placement Monrovia gives a mature size of 4–6 ft tall and 3–4 ft wide, with filtered sun or partial shade as the preferred exposure. Plant it in enriched, well-drained soil that remains moist but not soggy. It makes a bright border or container shrub and can anchor a foundation planting; its substantial bloom clusters also suit fresh or dried arrangements. See the [Monrovia profile](https://www.monrovia.com/red-n-pretty-hydrangea.html) for cultivar-specific color, size, and care details. ## Maintenance Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season, then water as needed to maintain even moisture. Mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots in harsh winters. This cultivar blooms on old wood, so prune after flowering rather than cutting back in late winter or spring; remove dead or weak stems as needed.
