Hydrangea serrata 'MAKD'
Choose Tiny Tuff Stuff™ Mountain Hydrangea for tight beds, edging, and containers where a full-size hydrangea is too much. The tradeoff is bloom size: you get small lacecap flowers, not big mopheads.
Buy This If
You need a compact hydrangea.
You like lacecap flowers.
You can water during dry spells.
Skip This If
You want a screen.
You want huge round blooms.
Your site dries out fast.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives a neat, finished look up close, but it will not carry a large bed from a distance.
Growth Rate
B-
It fills in steadily rather than racing, which suits small spaces but requires patience.
Maintenance
B+
It needs basic watering and light cleanup, with less pruning worry than many bigleaf hydrangeas.
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 hydrangeas for tight beds, low borders, and containers.
Screening Value
F
It is too small and open to provide privacy or block views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for the front of a bed or a container, especially where a standard hydrangea would crowd the walk or cover nearby perennials.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers stay blue?
Blue tones depend on soil chemistry; color can shift more lavender or pink in less acidic soil.
Does it need pruning?
Keep pruning light; remove dead wood and spent flowers rather than cutting it hard.
Can it grow in a pot?
Yes, if the container drains well and you keep up with watering during heat.

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!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
