Please note, items may ship green without blooms. This Endless Summer 1G Summer Crush Hydrangea Live Shrub (1-pack) with Grower Pot is a bigleaf hydrangea that has a compact, tidy growth habit, growing 18- to 36-inches tall and wide. It may be a smaller size when it comes to hydrangeas but it delivers great impact with its large, raspberry red or neon purple blooms, depending on your soil pH. It grows best in sun to part shade and in moist, well-drained soil. In hotter climates it will do best in part shade, protected from hot, afternoon sun. It blooms on both old and new wood. Summer Crush is beautiful as a foundation or specimen plant or in borders. It will deliver beautiful flowers for cut flower arrangements through the summer. Plant this beautiful flowering shrub grouped together in garden beds or combine them with other annuals and perennials for a mix of seasonal color. This plant will arrive to you with minimal flower blooms. We ship them this way to ensure they arrive safe and healthy, but more importantly so you can enjoy their beautiful flowers longer. Remove it from the box and water hydrangea if the soil feels dry. For healthy plants that will bloom all season, simply water as needed. Feed plants with an all-purpose plant food in spring and fall at the base of the plant.
