Notes: From the artist: Originally a red / pink flower, this plant was from Burncoose Nurseries, Caerhays Estate, Cornwall. ‘Altona’ has a long tipped serrated leaf with bronzy colours and red edges, which are similar to the characteristics of Hydrangea serrata. This flower is blue in acid and alum enriched soils.
