Hydrangea is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (from Japan to China, the Himalaya and Indonesia) and North and South America. Hydrangeas produce flowers from early spring to late autumn. The flowers of Hydrangea are carried in bunches, at the ends of the stems. Each individual Hydrangea flower is relatively small. However, the display of color is enhanced by a ring of modified bracts around each flower.
In most species of Hydrangea the flowers are white, but in some species, can be blue, red, pink, or purple. In Hydrangea species the exact color often depends upon the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, neutral soils produce pale cream petals, and alkaline soils result in pink or purple.
(Mountain Hydrangea) Enjoy the beauty of hydrangeas nearly all summer with Tuff Stuff AH-HA™. This reblooming hydrangea starts blooming early summer, with its strong rebloom you should see flowers nearly all summer long. Standing 2-3 foot tall and wide, AH-HA™ form a nicely mounded habit plant. In early summer you will start to see the large blooms emerge. Each lacecap flower reaches 6-8 inches across and is surrounded by large, double florets. With blooms ranging from pink to blue depending on your pH, the beauty will be evident all summer. AH-HA™ tends to lean more towards the blue shades but can easily be changed if desired. AH-HA™ is a cross between Tuff Stuff and the Let’s Dance family creating great reblooming qualities. Hardy in zones 5-9, AH-HA™ prefers to be grown in full sun to part shade locations that receive an adequate amount of moisture. Blooming off of new and old growth, we recommend trimming Hydrangea AH-HA™ in the early fall if needed. If you do find that it was trimmed in the spring, no worries, AH-HA™ should rebloom after 6-8 weeks. In autumn, the thick leafy foliage takes on rich, bronze red tones for additional interest late in the season. Hydrangea AH-HA™, a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
