This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

The Froggie™ Bigleaf Hydrangea shrub (Hydrangea macrophylla 'COF HM2') is one of a kind! Plant yours today for a pop of color and texture. This unique Hydrangea is a new, dense mophead with colored sepals that start out green-purple and mature pink. Heat tolerant, Froggie™ is ideal for warmer climates! People will stop and stare at this beauty! Butterflies to come to check out these blossoms!
The sepals are extremely thick and persistent. This is a strong plant that will hold up for a long time! Strong stems hold up defiantly against storms and rain, plus this Hydrangea has gorgeous flowers that are used for cut flowers or landscape decoration. These are pH-dependent blooms, so pick up a soil tester to be sure what you will be planting Froggie in! Plant in more alkaline conditions and you'll enjoy slightly pinker blooms, while more acidic these might edge closer to a moody blue. Neutral pH soils keep these blossoms delightfully green and purple!
In the fall, you can expect the pretty pink to deepen into a rich, fall red. With foliage and dried blooms lasting on the shrub well into fall until frost, USDA growing zones 6 through 9 will be able to enjoy the uniquely hued mopheads and wonderful foliage of this Bigleaf Hydrangea!
Planting and Application:
Provide your Hydrangea Bush with a partly shaded location so the full brunt of the summer sun doesn't give them stress. They thrive in those afternoon shady spots, you know, those ones under a big shade tree or around a shaded porch? Brighten up those dull areas with this gorgeous plant for cooling hues and flouncy flowers that add interest to the shaded side of your foundation, walls and along the back of your property where we could all use some oomph.
This Hydrangea is most commonly used in low hedges, mixed-shrub borders, cutting gardens, or as a backdrop for your perennial garden. There are so many possibilities! Plant near water features or a shady gutter where they can soak up the moisture, or close - but not too close, to a shady pond, brook or stream.
- Green Mopheads Accented in Pink, Purple or Blue
- Big Coarse Toothy Green Foliage
- Reddish Fall Color
- Great in Containers, Low Privacy, Hedges & Cut Flowers
- Great for Moist Shade
#ProPlantTips for Care
The Froggie™ Bigleaf Hydrangea thrives in zones 6-9. Need to find your hardiness zone? Use our map to locate yours! Plant these with mulch as they thrive when having that even moisture and protection. Hydrangea care can look overwhelming, but it's pretty easy! We have a few recommendations for you while taking care of your plant. When first planted, it is important to keep the soil moist so the Hydrangea can become established in its area. Afterward, water consistently as you would other plants.
