Hydrangea serrata 'Tuff Stuff™ Red' (PP28,672 'SMNMAKTSR')
Hydrangea are superb in the border for summer and autumn color. This shade-tolerant shrub is perfect for under trees and in the shadows of buildings. Provides winter interest too if flowers are left on. Great for indoor decorating as their flowers are easily dried.
Color can be affected by soil pH. Easiest pruning is to simply remove any dead canes that are not sprouting leaves in the spring. Compact habit requires little pruning, but best time is after it is done blooming if shaping is desired.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
