The Tuff Stuff™ Reblooming Mountain Hydrangea is a compact deciduous shrub growing about 3 feet tall and wide, with open branching sprouting from the base. It has smaller leaves than mophead hydrangeas and greater cold resistance. The blooms are large lacecaps, with an outer ring of larger flowers and a center of small ones. The color ranges from dark pink in alkaline soils to purple-blue in very acidic. Flowers come in June on older stems, and then from July to September on new stems.
- Beautiful lacecap blooms from June to September
- Dark pink to purple-blue, depending on the pH of your soil
- Perfect compact 3’ x 3’ form for every garden
- Better cold resistance than seen in the mophead hydrangea
- Weather resistant and needs no staking
Plant your Tuff Stuff™ Reblooming Mountain Hydrangea bushes in full sun or partial shade. Too much shade will reduce blooming. The best soil will be moist, well-drained and fertile, but this plant grows well in most gardens. Water regularly in summer, and fertilize and mulch in spring. No pruning is needed or desired – just remove any dead branches or branch tips, once the new growth can be seen. Usually free of pests or diseases.
