Description
Following the name, The Original, this blue or pink (depending on soil ph) floret shrub does not disappoint! Besides its beauty, it's believed to be "the original" due to two reasons, its ability to flower consistently (blooming on both old and new growth) and for a long period of time (due to having an excellent winter hardiness). Plant in partial shade with rich, medium moisture, well-drained soil. Bloom cycle is Summer-Fall.
Having over 70 deciduous or evergreen tree and shrub species, Hydrangeas, bring bountiful and colorful blooms to whatever landscape they are planted in! These beauties can change color based on soil ph, which is quite a remarkable feature to have, if you think about it. Generally their bloom cycle is Summer, however some varieties start sooner (early as Spring) and end later (Autumn).
