You have some afternoon shade.
Skip This If
You need a tough roadside plant.
Deer visit nightly.
You want white cone flowers.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The flower color is the main draw, especially where soil pH gives you blue or purple tones.
Growth Rate
B+
It grows at a useful pace, but flower performance still depends heavily on siting and moisture.
Maintenance
B-
Reblooming helps, but bigleaf hydrangeas still need careful pruning, steady moisture, and some winter consideration.
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 rounded habit works well near entries, patios, and smaller foundation beds.
Screening Value
C
It has enough body for a soft border, but it is not a privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend BloomStruck® where the homeowner can give it protection from hot afternoon stress and water during dry stretches; if that sounds unlikely, choose a smooth or panicle hydrangea instead.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers be blue or pink?
That depends on soil pH; acidic soil pushes blue, while sweeter soil pushes pink.
Should I cut it back hard?
No; prune lightly after winter damage is clear, because it can bloom from old and new wood.
Is it easier than older bigleaf hydrangeas?
Yes, but it still needs good placement, moisture, and some winter protection in colder spots.
Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
