Professional Growing Information Awful. Just awful. Run as fast as you can from this plant. I spent two years hoping it would get prettier but it did not. This has to be the ugliest, sickliest looking hydrangea I’ve ever seen. I had dreams of dark green foliage and huge white blooms and instead I got a lime green, monotone, disease prone eye sore. My husband and I ripped all 7 we planted and they went straight in the trash. Such a waste of money. Save yourself and don’t buy these.

Also makes a very dramatic cut flower.
Maintenance Notes:For the biggest, most abundant blooms and strongest stems, plant where it gets at least six hours of sun each day (warmer climates can get away with a bit less). A good layer of shredded bark mulch helps minimize water loss.
As for pruning, cut the entire plant back by about one-third its total height each spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge on stems. This serves to build up a strong, supportive, woody base while also encouraging abundant new growth for plenty of flowers.
If you wish to fertilize, an application of a rose fertilizer in early spring, once the soil has thawed, is sufficient.
