Common Name: Reblooming Hydrangea, Bigleaf Hydrangea

Deeply pigmented, vivid flower colors set this rebloomer apart from the crowd. It's a strong and reliable Let's Dance rebloomer that can produce hot pink or royal purple flowers. You'll also appreciate the dark glossy foliage that turns burgundy in autumn. Developed at Spring Meadow by Megan Mathey.

Soil Moist but well drained soils are best. Bigleaf hydrangeas may wilt in dry soils but also cannot take soggy conditions for any period of time. Tolerant of a range of soil pH levels, however, soil pH will influence flower color.

Pruning Avoid pruning bigleaf hydrangeas, except to remove any dead wood. These hydrangeas cannot be cut back or trimmed at any time of the year without impacting the bloom for either the current season or the next.

Uses Bigleaf hydrangeas are classic choices for flower gardens, cottage gardens, and seaside plantings. They also make a showy addition to foundation plantings and can be used for low hedges or edging.

Growing Tips Bigleaf hydrangeas benefit from a good layer of shredded bark mulch and afternoon shade, particularly in hotter climates. Apply a granular fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs (like a rose fertilizer) if leaves start to yellow.
