The soft and harmonious blooms of the Everlasting™ Harmony Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla EVERLASTING 'Hortmahar') will make your garden sing! This hardy deciduous shrub will provide years of gorgeous cut flowers for your home plus thick, textured green foliage to fill out your beds and borders! The flowers are a long-lasting soft pink and cream, the color of strawberry milk.
They stay beautifully full and healthy for a long bloom period, whether on the plant or in the vase. Then, when the weather turns cold, they fade to a pale apple green before turning tan to last through the fall and winter! Snip these strong stems and their bright green foliage for your bouquets, or let them dry for winter botanical decor.
The Everlasting™ series of Bigleaf Hydrangeas was originally bred for the florist trade in the Netherlands, a country known for centuries for its floral breakthroughs. Everlasting Harmony is a great addition to this long and stellar line of shrubs! As the flowers age, they turn into either a deeper shade of pink or a soft powder blue, depending on your soil.
Planting and Application:
Easy-to-grow but tough-as-nails, Harmony is equally at home in the garden or the container. It will fit into any sized garden, whether massed in a large bed or a specimen tucked into a shaded corner! Use as a facer shrub or along the front of your home's foundation plantings, along a driveway, or encircling your back seating areas with big fluffy blossoms! As accents and focal points, you'll add soft, soothing, and radiant color to your landscape!
Pollinator and cottage gardens gain a pillowy bloom and border gardens are filled with lavish blossoms that are sure to turn heads! Your cutting gardens NEED one of these shrubs! Just a couple of blossoms fill your vase. For the cost of a large bouquet, you can give the gift of big flouncy blooms for that special someone every year, getting bigger and better with age!
- Gorgeous, Softly-Colored Cut Flowers
- Season-Long Color Changes
- Reblooming Ruffled Mopheads
- Small Compact Size - Perfect for Containers
- Facer Shrub, Low Hedges, En Masse or Specimen
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bigleaf Hydrangea does best in more sun but does appreciate afternoon shade in the hottest of their USDA growing zones 5-9. Plant Hydrangea in a well-drained site with ample organic material and moderate, yet consistent moisture access. Prune after flowering if needed. Most will bloom earlier on last year's wood so don't cut them back in fall or spring - but wait to see if any pruning needs to be done to remove any dead branch tips as they begin to grow in spring. As the plants age, it is best to remove a few of the oldest fattest canes out to the ground leaving in some younger stems for best bloom. Old blooms can be removed in fall or spring. Top-dress with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch over the roots to keep them insulated and hold in moisture.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture
- Most Organic Well-Drained Soil
- pH-Dependent Blooms
- Prune Bigleaf Hydrangea Early Spring
