Description
Bluebird Hydrangea (Hydrangea serrata 'Bluebird') adds refined beauty to the garden with its elegant lacecap blooms in striking sky blue. Flowering from mid-summer through early fall, this beloved variety blooms on old wood and thrives in acidic soils—essential for maintaining its signature blue hue. Its lush, glossy green foliage stays attractive throughout the season, making it a standout even when not in bloom.
Ideal for borders, cutting gardens, or partially shaded woodland settings, Bluebird offers a more delicate and graceful look compared to mophead hydrangeas. Winter protection is key to preserving buds and ensuring reliable summer color year after year.
