In summer, it produces vivid pink flowers that bloom profusely on both old and new wood. The foliage remains lush green throughout the growing season and does not offer notable fall color. This hydrangea prefers well-drained, moderately moist soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, promoting its signature bloom color. Reaching a mature height of 2-3 feet and a similar spread, this plant is ideal for smaller landscapes, borders, or as a container centerpiece. Resilient to deer browsing, it is a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking vibrant, long-lasting blooms with minimal effort.
