Description

This deciduous shrub has beautiful blooms in the summer. It can reach 3'-4' tall and has a rounded form. This shrub prefers shade although a bit of sun will allow for more blooms. The flowers change color depending on acidity of soil. Hydrangea needs moist, fertile soil. This is a delightful addition to any semi-shady corner of the garden.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
