Hydrangea 'Rose Supreme Butterfly'

[bkoopers]

Hydrangea 'Rose Supreme Butterfly' (close-up above and full-plant view below) (from my garden, June 21, 2010). This robust mophead hydrangea bears many huge, dome-shaped clusters of flowers with slightly cupped edges that are either red or blue (depending on pH level of the soil, alkaline soils encourage redder blooms and acid soils are bluer).

The above bloom from 2010 is light purple. Below is dark purple version from the same plant from Aug. 30, 2015,

'Rose Supreme Butterfly' is a lovely name for a lovely plant. It's a gorgeous hydrangea! Is it fragrant?
