Hydrangea macrophylla 'PIIHM-II'
Choose BloomStruck® if you want a reblooming bigleaf hydrangea with blue, purple, or pink mophead flowers. The tradeoff: it needs better siting and moisture than panicle or smooth hydrangeas.
Buy This If
- You want mophead color.
- You can water during dry spells.
- 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.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
