Hydrangea macrophylla HoKo™ Mizar

Beautiful pink blooms on near-black foliage

The quintessential mophead hydrangea, Mizar truly has it all. Rich, dark foliage, so deep it appears nearly black, provides the perfect backdrop for its beautiful pink blooms.

Bred with the garden in mind, Mizar combines strong stems, an upright habit, and an extended flowering season to deliver reliable color and outstanding performance. Whether planted as a focal point, in mixed borders, or in mass plantings, this exceptional variety brings lasting beauty to the landscape.
