🌹 A Bloom That Knows Its History
The Heart Throb is a bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla), known for its lush, mophead-style blooms. It’s a newer variety with old-fashioned charm—bred for its bold, wine-red flowers and sturdy stems, so those big blooms don’t flop when the summer sun shows off.

In a world where so much changes fast, this one sticks around, blooms again and again, and brings something special to the table—just like family.

💌 What It Symbolizes
True to its name, the Heart Throb Hydrangea symbolizes deep love, remembrance, and devotion. Whether you plant it for a loved one, a special moment, or just because it makes your heart skip a beat, this bloom will keep the meaning alive season after season.

• Soil: Rich, well-drained soil with a good dose of compost keeps it happy.
