Description
Hydrangea – Nantucket Blue stands out as one of the most coveted summer-blooming garden plants, celebrated for its large and striking lavender-blue flowers. To maintain its signature blue color, it thrives best in acidic soils, making it essential for gardeners to ensure proper soil pH for optimal bloom hues.
From mid-summer to early fall, Nantucket Blue Hydrangea produces bold balls of blue flowers with delicate lavender overtones at the ends of its branches. These blooms are not only visually captivating but also perfect for cutting, allowing you to bring their beauty indoors.
The plant's forest green deciduous foliage provides a lush backdrop to the vibrant blooms throughout the growing season. The serrated, pointy leaves maintain their attractive appearance but do not undergo significant color change in the fall.
As Hydrangea – Nantucket Blue blooms on old wood, protecting flower buds in winter is advisable to ensure prolific flowering in the following season. This hydrangea is ideal for adding a splash of color to shrub borders, mixed plantings, or as a focal point in your garden.
Enhance your garden with the exquisite beauty of Nantucket Blue Hydrangea and enjoy its showy blooms and vibrant hues throughout the summer months.
