Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmacfive’
Choose Summer Crush Hydrangea if you want compact pink-red summer color near a walk, patio, or foundation. The tradeoff: it is not a privacy plant, and it needs steady moisture to look its best.
Buy This If
- You want compact color.
- You can water during dry spells.
- You prefer pink-red blooms.
Skip This If
- You need a hedge.
- Your site dries out fast.
- Deer browse your beds heavily.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The flower color gives strong impact in a small footprint without needing a large bed. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a good pace for a compact hydrangea but still takes time to make a full mound. |
| Maintenance | B | It is manageable, but watering and careful pruning matter if you want dependable flowering. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Hydrangeas aren't deer-resistant, but they aren't a deer favorite either. Deer may nibble tender new growth and flower buds, so protect plants where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact habit makes it easy to use where larger hydrangeas would crowd paths or windows. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a color plant, not a plant for blocking views or defining a property line. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Summer Crush for smaller, watered beds where flower color matters more than size. Give it morning sun, mulch the roots, and avoid cutting it hard in fall.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers stay red?
They usually run pink-red, but soil chemistry can shift the color.
Should I cut it back?
Do light cleanup after winter and avoid hard fall pruning.
Can it handle hot afternoon sun?
It can struggle there unless the soil stays evenly moist.
Fall is the best time to plant in New England
- Roots establish before the ground freezes
- Less heat stress than summer planting
