Know before you buy
Unlike upright hydrangea varieties, this shrub features long, flexible stems that cascade downward. This unique growth habit makes it specifically suited for hanging baskets, elevated planters, or trailing over rock walls.
No, you should avoid pruning this variety unless you are removing dead or damaged wood. Because it blooms on both old and new growth, heavy pruning can actually remove potential flower buds and reduce your total bloom count.
It is an excellent choice for containers. Its trailing habit creates a dramatic, spilling effect that works beautifully in large pots or hanging baskets, provided the container has adequate drainage.
Yes, Fairytrail Bride is a reblooming variety. It produces a flush of lacecap flowers in the spring and continues to push out new blooms throughout the summer months.
This shrub performs best in full sun to part shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade will help keep the soil moist and protect the foliage from heat stress.
Fairytrail Bride is hardy in zones 6 through 9. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to grow it in a container that can be moved to a protected area during the winter.
