Hydrangea macrophylla 'Fasan'( TELLER RED, TELLER SERIES)

Fasan Bigleaf Hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Fasan' — commonly sold as Teller Red in the Teller Series — is a deciduous shrub valued for its large lacecap flower heads with deep reddish-pink fertile centers surrounded by broad rose-red sterile florets. Flower color may deepen toward purplish-red depending on soil conditions, and the broad lacecap blooms appear in summer above glossy dark green foliage, giving the plant a refined and elegant appearance.

Mature Size:
Width: 4–6 ft
Height: 4–6 ft

USDA Zones: 6a–9b

Form: Rounded, upright shrub

Light: Partial shade to morning sun with afternoon shade

Soil / Water: Moist, well-drained, fertile soil; prefers consistent moisture and organic-rich conditions

Features / Wildlife / Landscape Uses:
Large lacecap blooms attract bees and other pollinating insects while providing strong summer color in woodland gardens, foundation plantings, cottage gardens, and mixed shrub borders. Particularly valued for its clear red coloration and elegant flower structure.

Care:
Prune only after flowering if needed, since flower buds form on old wood. Avoid highly acidic soils if maintaining stronger red flower color is desired.
