This compact and deciduous shrub features a rounded, mounding habit, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens and borders. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in temperatures ranging from mild to moderate. With show-stopping bright pink blooms that emerge in summer, this hydrangea adds a burst of color to any landscape. It offers minimal fall color but remains attractive due to its dense foliage. Preferring rich, well-draining soil that stays consistently moist, it performs well in both full sun and partial shade. The mature height typically reaches 3-4 feet, making it easy to incorporate into various garden designs. Though not fully deer-resistant, it is less favored by deer compared to other garden plants. Its rounded shape and showy flowers make it a standout feature for containers, mixed beds, or foundation plantings.
