PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The flower color gives it more presence than white smooth hydrangeas without overwhelming a small bed.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a steady moderate pace, so it fills in without becoming a constant pruning job.
Maintenance
A-
Because it blooms on new wood, pruning is straightforward and winter bud loss is less of a concern.
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
This is one of the better smooth hydrangeas for tighter beds and walkway plantings.
Screening Value
D
It is grown for flowers, not blocking views or creating privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for homeowners who want dependable hydrangea color in a smaller space and do not need a tall backdrop or deer-resistant shrub.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it bloom after a hard winter?
Yes, it blooms on new wood, which helps make flowering more reliable.
Can I make the flowers blue?
No, this type does not shift blue like some bigleaf hydrangeas.
When should I prune it?
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
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.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
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!
