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.

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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

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!
