More about this plant
An early blooming cascade hydrangea with trailing stems and colorful mophead flowers that are blue or pink depending on soil chemistry, giving the plant a flowing, cloud like appearance. It reaches about 3.5 to 4 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide and blooms in spring on old wood, so pruning is avoided apart from dead wood. Proven Winners places it in part shade with a minimum of four hours of sun and a maximum of six, in average soil with average water. It suits containers and hanging baskets as well as borders, groundcover use and mass plantings.
