Know before you buy
Most hydrangeas only bloom on the previous year's growth, meaning a late frost can kill the buds. Because this variety blooms on both old and new wood, it will still produce flowers throughout the season even if the winter cold damages the older stems.
Yes, the flower color is influenced by soil pH. In acidic soil, the blooms will turn blue, while more alkaline soil will result in pink or lavender flowers.
Absolutely. Its moderate growth rate and spreading habit make it a great choice for large pots, provided the container has good drainage and you keep up with regular watering.
This variety prefers partial shade or partial sun. While it can tolerate full shade, you will get the best bloom production if it receives some morning sun and protection from the harsh afternoon heat.
Yes, this variety is cold-hardy down to Zone 4, which corresponds to temperatures as low as -20℉. It is one of the most reliable options for gardeners in colder climates.
You can expect this hydrangea to reach a mature height of 3 to 4 feet and a width of 4 to 6 feet. Be sure to provide enough space in your landscape for its natural spreading habit.
