Harsh winters are not a problem for this plant. Flowers develop on old and new growth. In mid to late summer, glossy dark-green leaves are covered with 6-8" flower heads. Blue flowers require acidic soil. Growth 3-5'tall in full sun to partial shade. Terrific for borders, cut flowers or dried
arrangements.

| Unique Characteristics: |
|
Another great performing hydrangea that blooms on new wood. Leaving less worry about winter freezing out your blooms. Blue Hydrangeas require acid soil. Aluminum is a component of all soils, but its availability to plants depends on the acidity of the soil. In acid soils, the roots can readily absorb aluminum. If your soil is on the alkaline side, you may need to add aluminum sulfate. Flower buds develop on old (mature) wood of the previous year and new wood, increasing your chances of a very colorful season. You may dry bloom heads for added interest indoors. |
| |
| Pruning: |
|
Remove any winter damage wood. Prune after flowering may result in additional blooming for the season. |
| |
| Time of Pruning: |
|
In early spring when new growth is starting. |
