Product Description
Sea-Blue Lacecap Blooms + Red Fall Foliage
Why Bluebird Hydrangea Shrubs?
Spectacular lacecap blooms in rich, sea-blue color emerge in early summer, even on old wood, setting the Bluebird Hydrangea apart. Attractive reddish fall foliage offers a perfect contrast, making the Bluebird the ideal accent shrub for borders and beyond.
Even better? The Bluebird doesn't require constant maintenance. Named its large blooms in a bold blue tone, the Bluebird merges carefree growth with eye-catching leaves, sapphire blooms, and enduring color.
And missed waterings aren't a problem. When it comes to the Bluebird, you'll have a gorgeous accent shrub, entryway container plant, or stunning border that thrives on neglect. No matter where you plant it, the Bluebird makes a statement.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: First, choose an area with full sun to partial shade for your Bluebird Hydrangea (simply shield it from excessive afternoon sun). The Bluebird grows easily in organically-rich soil that’s somewhat moist but well-drained and acidic. However, it thrives in most soil types and prefers summer mulch.
To plant your Bluebird Hydrangea, dig a hole deep enough to cover its root ball. After placing your plant, tamp down the soil while backfilling to avoid air pockets. Water your Bluebird to settle the soil that surrounds the roots.
2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first full growing season so that your Bluebird Hydrangea’s root system becomes well-established. To test when and how much to water, check the top 2 to 3 inches of soil – if it’s dry, it’s time to water until it’s moist but not oversaturated. During times of drought, the Bluebird should be watered twice weekly instead of once weekly.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Bluebird Hydrangea regularly during the growing season.
4. Pruning: Prune if needed immediately after flowering. Any winter-damaged stems may be pruned in early spring.
