Heart Throb™ Hydrangea | Hydrangea macrophylla 'McKay'

Bring bold, romantic color to your landscape with the Heart Throb™ Hydrangea, a stunning mophead variety known for its deep red blooms that hold their color throughout the summer. Unlike many red hydrangeas that fade, Heart Throb maintains its rich hue even in warmer climates, making it a standout in gardens across USDA Zones 6–9.

Each blossom is densely packed, forming full, rounded heads above clean green foliage. This compact shrub grows to about 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for borders, foundation plantings, or as an accent in mixed beds.

Perfect for southern gardens, this hydrangea thrives in morning sun and afternoon shade, and it reblooms with proper care. Its long-lasting blooms are excellent for fresh-cut arrangements or drying.
