Preziosa Hydrangea

Preziosa is a deciduous shrub with mophead-like flowers that bloom from mid-summer to early fall. It's a compact, rounded plant that typically grows to be 3–4 ft tall and wide, but can be pruned smaller or damaged by harsh winters. The flowers start out white, then turn pink, and finally reddish-purple over the course of the summer and fall. The leaves also change color, starting out purple-tinted, then turning green, and finally red or purple in the fall.
