L.A. Dreamin® Hydrangea

The L.A. Dreamin® Hydrangea is a mounding deciduous shrub, growing 3 to 5 feet tall, and just as wide across. The large leaves are rich green, with an attractive wrinkled texture, and this plant is ever-blooming, flowering from June into November, on both old and new stems. The 9-inch flower heads are produced in abundance, and each one stays attractive for up to 3 months. They vary in color – some can be pink, some blue, and some purple, making a rich and varied bush that looks simply stunning. It is perfect for garden beds, with good tolerance of full sun, and for planters and pots.

• Flower heads can be pink, blue or purple – all on the same bush
• Large flowers produced in abundance from July to November
• Good sun tolerance, and grows in shade too
• Vigorous and ideal for garden beds and mass-planting
• Good choice for container growing

The L.A. Dreamin® Hydrangea is hardy from zone 5 to 10, and it blooms on old and new stems. It should be planted in rich, moist, well-drained soil that is roughly neutral on the pH scale, for the best range of flower colors. It has good resistance to powdery mildew and leaf spot, and rarely suffers from pests. You can simply remove flower heads when they fade, or do more extensive pruning on young plants to give extra-bushy growth.
