Hydrangea aspera 'Hot Chocolate'

Finally back in the garden after a mega busy few days! 💜💓💜 #hydrangea #purple #pink #brown #hydrangea-hotchocolate #summer #august

Love the combo of the dark leaves and soft pink....

That is a really nice combination. You have a great skill in design.

That’s beautiful @dan5584 💕💕

I'm with Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom that combination is superb 💕💕

Thank you. Big favourite of mine, I love the leaf and flower contrast too! 💗 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @janetandjim @suerichards @pelly

I believe in miracles where you from you sexy thing, sexy thing you! 😊😊❤❤

😂😂😂 @midnightgardener

Evening Dan @dan5584 absolutely Stunning Love it 😍👌

Very pretty !! 😍😍. The variety is new to me.

I'm head over heels for this one but a zone 5 Damn it!!! It would have to be a potted patio hydrangea for me 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Does really well in a pot too Tina. Had this one in a pot for about 4 years before it went into the ground @tinaaune

My favourite hydrangea. 💜💗💜 #hydrangea #pink #purple

Great pic too!

That’s lovely Dan

I have this one too, Dan, but the leaves on mine are quite dark with a pinky-red reverse. @dan5584

Gorgeous colours 😍

@jacaranda same, but the New leaves at the top are more green than brown. Much darker lower down

I’ll take a photo of mine for comparison, Dan, and I’ll also try to get a shot of the back of the leaves. They’re so pretty! @dan5584

Oh yes do @jacaranda would love to see the difference. I wonder pherhaps if soil has anything to do with it x

Fabulous!! 😍

That’s sensational 💜💖

@dan5584 lovely colour, haven't seen one like that before 💜

That's a beautiful colour 💓💜💓
