Professional Growing Information Beautiful plant- but a few notes: saying this is a Maintenance Category Easy is not accurate- I would recommend you know something about hydrangeas before buying this particular variety. It is a smaller macrophylla, so understanding pruning, water and light levels will ensure success. I am in Indiana zone 6, I planted 3 of these in 2021 and they get shade most of the day- about 4 hours of sun. They will wilt when it gets hot and it is important to water them a lot during the hottest part of summer. They also put on blooms during the hottest part of summer so you can start to see why water is so important. I feel for those gardeners in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas that get almost no rain over the hottest summer months. I also recommend testing your soil before adding either lime or soil acidifiers to get the bloom color you want....see, defiantly NOT an easy category!

Planted these in zone 8b. In shade and well draining soil. While they stayed a bright green all summer, they barely grew. No blooms whatsoever. Hoping next year will be better?

By far my Favorite hydrangea that I’ve ever owned! Such deep blue blooms, turning purple. Deep green foliage make it look so lush. I just wish I had more!
