They look fantastic both fresh and dried!
The huge, pointed flower panicles are tight and creamy white when they first open in summer. As the cool nights and warm days come in fall, you will notice the transformation of these amazing blooms where they color pink and red from the bottoms of the flower with white tips just like the best French manicure! The summer blooming continues to dazzle and draw pollinators to your landscape as the blooms change color. Even as the fall season progresses, the blooms dry and remain on the shrub for a fantastic winter show!

French Manicure™ is fast-growing, there's no worry that your soil pH will change the color of the blooms - They stay true to their hue year after year! This deciduous shrub completely covers itself in magnificent blooms. French Manicure™ is easily maintained in the 4-5 foot rounded form with the once-a-year trim in late winter or early spring.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Panicle Hydrangeas do their very best and have the strongest stems in full sun, but French Manicure™ tolerates part shade as well! Plant Hydrangea in enriched, well-drained soils, and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the surface, should be all that is needed to keep this plant happy. A simple once-a-year pruning job in early spring before it starts to grow is all that is needed. Prune off the old blooms and shorten up any branches needed to give the plant a nice rounded form in the size you like.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Consistent Water Needs
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Blooms on New Wood - Prune in Very Early Spring
A finishing touch of elegance, the French Manicure™ Panicle Hydrangea shrub is just the specimen plant for your landscape and your bouquets! Hurry and order this new NatureHills.com exclusive flowering shrub today before they're sold out!

Gorgeous!
Nature Hills Nursery shipped 2 Tidbit Panicle Hydrangeas to my home in the same container. One arrived in good condition and the other was essentially dead. I have planted the good Hydrangea, and it seems to be doing well in my garden. I recommend different packaging when shipping 2 plants together. Both plants should have their base pot on the same side of the container with verbiage on the box stating, "This Side Up". The 1 that did not make it was planted with the base pot facing the opposite direction of the other plant. When the box got turned "upside down" in relation to the Hydrangea that arrived in good condition, some of the moist soil in the "bad" plant apparently fell out.
I received 2 of the #2 pots. Love, love, love these Summer Crush Bigleaf Hydrangeas! So well packaged and so healthy!
Summer Crush is such a reliable performer, and it's great to hear yours arrived in good shape and ready to get established. These do best when you keep the soil consistently moist through their first season, so they can put energy into rooting rather than just surviving. Thanks for sharing, Irish2OH. We hope they reward you with plenty of those deep raspberry blooms.
First of all, the communication with this company has to be the worse I've ever experienced, it took almost 3 months before I got the oakleaf hydrangea( I emailed this company several times regarding the shipping info with no response) not to mention that I ordered a red slipper but got a alice white hydrangea (they charged me for a red slipper tho)
Upon arrival, this plant was in terrible shape, broken new growth, torn leaves and not enough soil around its roots, the box it came in looked like it had been kicked around. Now that the hydrangea has been planted and being cared for it looks much better.
Unfortunately!!!
I won't be ordering from this company ever again
Terrible quality Azure Skies Hydrangeas. I ordered #3 pots and they took 3 smaller plants, bundled them together and shoved them into a #3. When you plant them the root systems are not even established so they literally fall apart. As you can see from the photos they are terrible quality. Avoid avoid avoid and go support your local nursery instead.
I ordered two of these plants. I received one, dying little plant. Emails have gone unanswered. If you call, you get their voicemail and no one will call you back. The website says “use our live chat”, but that does not exist. I got scammed by this company.
Arrived in great condition! Did go through a small
Shock and lost a leaf or two but bounced right back. Doing good!
Shipping stress can shake a hydrangea for a bit, so it's good to hear Ruby Snow settled in and started pushing forward. Panicle hydrangeas tend to be pretty resilient once their roots get established. Thanks for the update, Diana, and enjoy the blooms this season!
Disappointed in this one. It looked less than healthy when received, dead leaves in the box and some were deformed and spotty. As a new gardener I thought it was just in shock from travel and planted right away. Watered often and kept removing the damaged leaves. Today I noticed fine webs on the underside, suspect spider mites. Removed bad leaves again and washed the plant. Hoping it survives. Bought 3 different shrubs, this was the largest and most costly unfortunately. Satisfied with my other plants
I Loved these! I had a pink Victorian home so wanted the White Annabelle Hydrangeas. - After a couple years they were so full and beautiful year after year. They recommended the Root booster for about $15 and added that as well. You will not regret buying these. Beautiful year after year!
White Annabelle against a pink Victorian house sounds like a great pairing. It's really satisfying to hear they've filled in well and come back strong year after year, which is exactly what this variety does when it gets established. The root booster is a solid addition at planting time, and it sounds like it paid off for you. Thanks for sharing the recommendation, Brenda. The Nature Hills Team
Arrived in great condition and seem very happy in the ground. Two weeks in and doing great.
Climbing hydrangea can take a little time to settle in after planting, so it's great to hear yours hit the ground running. Give it consistent moisture through the first season and it will reward you with strong new growth. Thanks for the update, David.
Plant arrived dead. I’ve reached out multiple ways email, chat support, social media(they deleted my comment) it’s been over a week now so might as well just take this as a loss and never order from this company ever again. Google the reviews. Search Facebook. Plenty of negative reviews saying this is a scam. I should have done more research on this company.
My plant came in pretty much dead
Dried leafs and broken stems
They're vigorously growing. Dark green leaves and flowers are popping up. Couldn't be happier.
Very first time planting this flower, coming from Houston Texas. I was a little nervous since these plants require a lot of care and water but she has been doing so well!!! I water her twice. Early morning before work (6am) and after sun down (after 7pm). I placed some mulch on the pot so that has been helpful at keeping the soil moist. I was really afraid of drowning her or giving too much water mostly in the early afternoon where the sun was starting to burn through leaves due to me giving it water at 5pm. Shes blossoming beautifully and cannot wait until shes fully open. I also recently purchased her back at the beginning/mid May. Very fast shipping too!
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Endless Summer Bigleaf Hydrangea. We're so happy to hear that it's doing well in your care and that you're taking such good care of her. It sounds like you have a great watering routine in place and the mulch is definitely a helpful addition. We hope you continue to enjoy watching her blossom and thank you for choosing our product. Happy gardening!
Strong looking
Planted and doing great! It was nice getting a plant with blooms on it!
Getting a hydrangea with blooms already on it makes such a difference when you're putting it in the ground. Summer Crush is a reliable rebloomer, so once it settles in you should see more flushes of color throughout the season. Thanks for sharing, Karen!
Beautiful great quality ..
Annabelle is such a reliable performer, and it's great to hear she arrived in good shape. If you want to encourage even fuller blooms next season, a light application of slow-release fertilizer in early spring goes a long way with hydrangeas. Thanks for sharing, Sabina -- happy growing from the Nature Hills team.
Beautiful, healthy plant received. Great packaging. Will definitely purchase from Nature Hills again.
Healthy hydrangeas right out of the box are always a good sign, and Summer Crush is such a rewarding plant to watch settle in and bloom. Get it established with consistent moisture this first season and it should put on a real show for you. We look forward to your next order, Joan.
Plant arrived quickly and in good condition. It’s doing well in the ground.
Glad to hear the Fire Light Tidbit settled in well after planting. These compact panicle hydrangeas tend to take off once their roots get established, so you should have some great blooms to look forward to. Thanks for the update, Patti!
Annabelle arrived a bit dehydrated and that worried me. So I pampered her with water, light shade and clipped any leaves that were concerning. After a week or so, she perked up and now has a lot of good new growth. I am glad I treated the hydrangea with patience because that was all it really needed.
Shipping can stress plants more than we'd like, and it's great to hear you gave her the time she needed to settle in. That instinct to water, provide some shade, and trim the struggling leaves is exactly the right approach for a dehydrated hydrangea. Annabelle is a tough plant once she finds her footing, and that new growth is a good sign of things to come. Thanks for sharing what worked.
My hydrangea is growing great so far.
Vanilla Strawberry is such a rewarding grower once it gets established. Thanks for the quick update, Celeste. Keep an eye out for those big creamy blooms shifting to pink as the season progresses. It really is one of the more striking panicle hydrangeas at peak bloom.
