PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The summer flower display gives a visible bed a clear focal point. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It establishes at a useful pace when moisture is kept consistent. |
| Maintenance | B- | Watering and soil chemistry matter, but routine pruning should be light. |
| 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 measured habit fits foundation beds and smaller borders well. |
| Screening Value | D | It is deciduous and too low to provide meaningful privacy. |
Our Experience
We recommend this for a protected bed with morning sun, mulch, and dependable summer watering. Avoid hard spring pruning; remove only confirmed dead wood after new growth begins.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers be blue?
Acidic soil with available aluminum encourages blue or purple flowers; neutral to alkaline soil produces pink tones.
When should I prune it?
Avoid routine pruning. Remove winter-damaged wood only after new growth shows what is alive.
How much sun does it need?
Give it morning sun or part shade; protect it from the hottest afternoon exposure and keep the roots evenly moist.
Why Choose Shrubs for a Stronger Landscape?
- Structure & Definition: Shrubs frame homes, define walkways, and create organized planting beds.
- 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.
