Meet Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea

Eclipse® Bigleaf Hydrangea offers season-long beauty with intense, dark purple leaves that hold their color, even in warm climates. The striking foliage contrasted by cranberry or dark purple blooms pair perfectly with anything in the garden.

Yes. I finally picked one up from Home Depot. This is truly stunning & quite unique coloring for a big leaf hydrangea. Love it. ❤

[@coletteHawk]

I just picked one up from my local nursery. It's absolutely stunning. Never seen a plant quite like it, never mind a hydrangea!

Can this be grown in the shade?

[@jessicacook8186]

Mine has started to have green leaves along with some dark leaves. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[@adrianadiaz3711]

I DESEPERATLY NEED ONE: hOW COME CAN I GET ONE IN ARGENTINA? THANK YOU!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS

[@kellyg9093]

So to clarify, it’s ok to grow these in full sun in Illinois? There seems to be some confusion between the tag (which says full sun), and in this video you state full sun in Illinois but the website which says morning sun/afternoon shade as does a comment above. Thanks!

[@HandcraftedintheFoothills]

Yes you can in Illinois in full sun. The sun up there is not as hot as down south

I live in zone 5 in Colorado, suggestions on full sun vs shade?

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

We recommend that Eclipse® receive full morning sun and dappled afternoon shade!

[@ceciliagachet-atchison3689]

My eclipse hydrangea was delivered today, unfortunately, it’s leaves are droopy and doesn’t look good and cannot find any information about how to care for them nor how to plant them in containers. can anybody give me a suggestion on what to do,

[@bagomoyo]

Is this “Light My Fire” of Black Diamonds series? I can’t find any difference between the two.

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

Hi there! Eclipse® is the first hydrangea on the market with dark leaves that STAY dark, even in the sunlight!

[@anythingsassy9005]

I just got one from Lowe’s!!!!

[@mousumidutta6813]

i bought eclipse today. How can I maintain soil pH to get that rich cranberry color?

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

Hi there! Eclipse® planted in alkaline soil will keep their cranberry blooms. Figuring out your soil pH will be the first step in knowing how to amend the soil to keep the cranberry color.

Zone 7a in MD. Full sun or morning sun only?

[@alexandral6997]

I am also in zone 7a in WV. I purchased two plants from Lowe’s. The tag on mine says they need full sun, which is why I purchased them. However, most of the online sources say they need morning sun with afternoon shade (of course 😭). I planted mine in a sunny location where they receive full sun from 9 am until 5 pm. I hope they do well! They have only been in the ground for two days.

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

Morning sun and dappled afternoon shade!

[@y_o_oj754]

Eclipse® requires morning sun and afternoon shade!

[@sayzar9474]

How much Sun should this plant get in zone 8 north Texas ?

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

Eclipse® requires morning sun and afternoon shade!

[@andynelson2340]

A lot of hydrangeas melt with any afternoon sun in Texas.

[@BaileyNurseriesInc]

That's why we recommend Eclipse® gets full morning sun and dappled afternoon shade!

I passed by one at my Lowe’s today. So stunning, couldn’t leave without it.
