Plant Facts

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.
