Saturated red-pink mophead blooms make Wee Bit Giddy Hydrangea a favorite in our trial gardens. Growers will be delighted with its tight, compact growth, dark glossy foliage, and strong stems. Thanks to its parents Let's Dance Rave® Hydrangea and Cityline® Paris Hydrangea, it also reblooms. We recommend this variety as a red-pink, however flowers are a nice dark violet-purple when treated with aluminum sulfate.

Soil and exposure: Big-leaf hydrangeas should be planted in moist but well-drained soil - they cannot tolerate wet conditions. It's a good idea to have a 2-3" layer of mulch in all climates. Plant with at least some sun each day; the hotter your climate, the more shade the plant can withstand. Pruning: big-leaf hydrangeas cannot be pruned at any point in the year without negatively impacting the flowering. As such, it's best to avoid pruning this type of hydrangea altogether. If portions of the plant were damaged from winter weather, they can be removed in spring when it is clear where the new growth is emerging. 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. |
