H. arborescens 'NCHA5', ppaf INVINCIBELLE® WEE WHITE™ HYDRANGEA The smallest Hydrangea arborescens on the market! Covered with sturdy, white flowers that do not flop from weight, this little plant is a showpiece. White flowers start in June and exhibits good summer re- bloom when trimmed. Cool, moist soils best, or additional moisture may be required during the hot drier periods. Cut the plants down each spring, as the flowers are borne on new wood coming from the ground. 18-24" Zones 4-9 JUL MACROPHYLLA TYPES H. macrophylla 'PIIHM-II' Bloomstruck® BLOOMSTRUCK HYDRANGEA

H. macrophylla GRATEFUL RED™ HYDRANGEA

H. paniculata 'Limelight' LIMELIGHT HYDRANGEA

A bold, yet elegant PeeGee Hydrangea selection that has a profusion of bloom. Lime green flowers emerge in July and age to white and continue to evolve to pink and burgundy colors by fall and remain on the plant. Flowers are formed on new wood, so prune back in early spring only. Moist, well-drained soils are best, but very adaptable. Tree form also available. 6-8' Zones 3-8 JUL H. paniculata ‘Jane’ LITTLE LIME® HYDRANGEA

A unique, red flowering Hydrangea macrophylla that blooms on new wood. Zone 5 hardy plant that prefers the east side of a house or building where there is protection from afternoon heat. Maintain even moisture for best results. InWisconsin this plant gets to about 2-3'. Mulch well in fall and cut back any dead tips in spring for best results. Mop head flowers are red, but in acidic soils are purplish. The blooms age to a lavender and the foliage has an incredible burgundy coloration. 2-3' Zones 5-9 JUN-FROST

PANICULATA TYPES

H. paniculata 'ILVOBO' BOBO® HYDRANGEA

NEW! Bloomstruck is the newest addition to the beloved Endless Summer collection of re-blooming hydrangeas. You can easily change the soil acidity and watch the flowers magically change color during the next bloom cycle! They can be vivid rose pink or deep luscious purple. With red-purple stems and dark green leaves with red veins, the Bloomstruck Hydrangea gives you a great contrast to the other shrubs in your garden. This hydrangea has extra-strong stems, above average heat tolerance and great disease resistance (especially to powdery mildew), this is one plant you need to add to your garden this year! 3-4'x4-5' Zones 4-9 JUN-OCT H. macrophylla 'McKay' CHERRY EXPLOSION HYDRANGEA

A dwarf form of 'Limelight' Hydrangea. Fresh, lime green flowers commence the summertime bloom extravaganza. These flowers will change to white and then age to a nice pink into fall. These fall blooms work well in dried flower arrangements. Works in the sunnier parts of your garden into partial shade and as a single specimen or in gorgeous mass. Most woody Hydrangea bloom on new wood only so prune no later than early spring. You don't want to take a chance on cutting off any flower buds! 3-5' Zones 3-8 JUL-FROST H. paniculata ‘SMHPLQF’ LITTLE QUICK FIRE® HYDRANGEA

Talk about flowers! This lovely little hydrangea has abundant white summer flowers. The white flowers are held upright on strong stems and continue to lengthen as they bloom. Blooms every year.

A nice compact form of Quick Fire® Hydrangea that gets about 1/3 the overall size.

Prune before the new growth begins in spring only. 3-5' Zones 3-8 JUL
