Hydrangea macrophylla 'Dark Angel Purple'
- With its gorgeous dark green and bronze foliage and impressive crimson, purple and white lacecap blooms, 'Dark Angel Purple' is a true stunner of a hydrangea.
- Lacecap hydrangeas get their name from the shape and form of their flowers, which comprise an outer ring of showy, sterile florets and an inner cluster of smaller, fertile florets.
- Relatively compact in nature, this variety will grow nicely in a large container on a patio. It will also make an excellent addition to a shrub border.
- Part of the lovely 'Black Diamonds' hydrangea series, this plant is revered for its striking foliage, whose dark green shades look give it a dramatic, almost-black look.
- The blooms make for splendid cut flowers, looking especially striking alongside fern fronds or eucalyptus leaves. Get snipping!

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
