Hi, Jonathan from
Monrovia here.

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.200
I'm super excited
to present to

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.380
you Centennial
Ruby Hydrangea.

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.079
This is a brand new
hydrangea that we are

00:00:12.079 --> 00:00:15.560
celebrating our 100th
year anniversary

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.120
in 2026.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:18.360
And we can't
wait to tell you

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.880
a little bit
more about it.

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:23.020
So look at this
color of this plant.

00:00:23.020 --> 00:00:24.840
There is not a hydrangea

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:26.839
macrophylla on the market

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.000
that has this such
intense ruby coloration.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.479
But what I really
like about

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.620
Centennial Ruby is this.

00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:37.060
It is so stiff and sturdy.

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:39.740
These stems are
really, really sturdy.

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:42.079
And these flowers
and the cuticle of

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.760
the flower is very
thick and leathery.

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.119
What that means for
you and your yard is

00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.040
this plant will
tolerate a dry down.

00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:51.500
You go away for a week,

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:52.800
don't get it watered.

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.920
This plant can
maintain and it

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.440
is never going to
flop in your yard.

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:58.240
It's going to be

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.660
a very compact
hydrangea macrophylla.

00:01:01.660 --> 00:01:03.900
Now with a flower
like this,

00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:07.250
it's also really great
for cuttings because

00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:11.570
these flowers last
for about 130 days.

00:01:11.570 --> 00:01:13.650
That's 130 days.

00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:16.750
One in each flower
will last that long.

00:01:16.750 --> 00:01:18.010
So you can actually bring

00:01:18.010 --> 00:01:19.830
them inside as well.

00:01:19.830 --> 00:01:22.470
Inside the house,
cut the stem,

00:01:22.470 --> 00:01:24.750
go down 2 or 3 stems.

00:01:24.750 --> 00:01:27.270
Cut. You can turn
it upside down.

00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:29.170
Dry the flower
out and it will

00:01:29.170 --> 00:01:31.470
keep this wonderful
coloration.

00:01:31.470 --> 00:01:34.770
The longer that the
bloom is on the plant,

00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:36.730
you'll see right
here we're

00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:39.030
getting this
great coloration.

00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.130
And it starts out
with a little green.

00:01:42.130 --> 00:01:43.350
And it's going to go to

00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:46.410
this really deep maroon
dark coloration.

00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:48.709
The longer the
flowers on the plant,

00:01:48.709 --> 00:01:51.170
the deeper this coloration
is going to get.

00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:54.090
So again, super excited
to share with you

00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:56.810
Centennial Ruby
Hydrangea from

00:01:56.810 --> 00:02:00.970
Monrovia's 100th
year celebration.
