Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Aim for 4 to 6 hours of bright morning sun followed by dappled afternoon shade. While it can handle more sun in cooler northern climates, providing afternoon protection prevents the white petals from scorching and keeps the foliage from wilting in the heat.
Soil: These shrubs thrive in rich, loamy soil that holds moisture but allows excess water to drain away. If you have heavy clay, mix in several inches of organic compost at planting time to improve drainage and prevent root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, keep the soil consistently moist to help the root system expand into the surrounding soil. Mature plants generally require a deep soaking two or three times a week, but you should increase this frequency during the peak of summer or if you notice the leaves beginning to droop. Think of this hydrangea as a thirsty athlete that needs steady hydration to maintain those large, heavy flower heads without showing signs of stress.

Pruning Tips

This variety is a rebloomer that flowers on both old wood from last year and new growth from the current season. You should only prune immediately after the first flush of summer blooms if you want to shape the plant or encourage a faster second round of flowers. Avoid any heavy pruning in late winter or early spring because you will accidentally cut off the "old wood" buds that provide your very first flowers of the year.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the new leaves begin to emerge from the stems. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers after mid summer because this encourages a flush of soft, tender growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. This timing ensures the plant focuses its energy on root strength and winter survival rather than producing vulnerable new leaves late in the season.

Effortless Elegance in Every Petal

Invite a sense of serene, classic beauty into your garden with the DreamCloud® Reblooming Hydrangea. Known botanically as Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bailmaceight', this stunning addition to the Endless Summer® collection lives up to its name by producing voluminous, pillowy mounds of bright white blooms. These flowers emerge with a crisp, clean glow that stands out brilliantly against the backdrop of its lush, dark green foliage. Unlike many white varieties that brown quickly in the sun, DreamCloud® petals are engineered to be slower to fade, keeping your garden looking fresh and vibrant even during the mid-summer heat.

A Season of Transformation

What makes the DreamCloud® truly special is its reblooming nature and its seasonal evolution. Because it flowers on both the previous year's growth and the current season’s new wood, you aren’t just limited to a single spring show. You can expect a steady parade of white "clouds" throughout the entire growing season. As autumn approaches, these white mopheads take on a second life, aging into sophisticated shades of deep pink in many climates. This transition adds a layer of depth and movement to the landscape, ensuring that your garden remains a point of interest from the first thaw until the first frost.

Versatile Landscape Uses

With a perfectly balanced, rounded silhouette reaching 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, this Hydrangea macrophylla is a designer’s dream. It is large enough to create a soft, flowering hedge along a garden path yet compact enough to serve as a stunning thriller in a decorative patio container. Use it as a focal point in a semi-shaded perennial bed, or mass them together for a high-impact, low-maintenance border. The sturdy stems and long-lasting color also make DreamCloud® an elite choice for cut flower arrangements, bringing the airy beauty of your garden indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the soil pH affect the color of DreamCloud® blooms?

Unlike blue or pink Hydrangea macrophylla varieties, DreamCloud® stays consistently white regardless of soil acidity. However, the blooms may age to a deep pink as the season progresses depending on your local climate.

Is this hydrangea easy to grow for beginners?

es! As part of the Endless Summer® collection, DreamCloud® is bred for effortless beauty and resilience, specifically offering better cold hardiness (down to Zone 4) than many traditional bigleaf varieties.

When is the best time to prune my DreamCloud® Hydrangea?

To maximize blooms, it is best to do minimal pruning. If you need to shape the plant, do so in the summer immediately after the first round of flowers has finished. Avoid heavy pruning in late winter or early spring so you don't remove the "old wood" buds.

Can DreamCloud® grow in full sun?

In cooler Northern climates, it can handle significant sun if the soil is kept consistently moist. In the South, it is much happier with morning sun and protection from the intense afternoon heat.

How much water does this plant need?

Hydrangeas are "water-loving" plants. DreamCloud® requires medium to high moisture. You should water deeply 2-3 times a week, or more frequently during extreme heat or if planted in containers.
