Flower Colour: Blue / Purple / Pink Shades |
Mountain Hydrangea are strong rebloomers on both old and new wood. Compact habit. Autumn foliage provides additional interest with rich bronze red tones. Prefers moist, well-drained soils. Soil will affect bloom color. In acidic soils with good aluminum availability the flowers will be light blue. They will turn lavender-pink in more basic soils. Pruning is generally not needed, but the plant may be shaped immediately after the first bloom of the season. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
