Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Blushing Bride' is a fast and moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 3 feet to 4 feet and an average width of 3 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained or moderately drained. In the summer and fall Endless Summer Blushing Bride Hydrangea produces white and soft pink flowers. The foliage is medium green and dark green in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to insects, diseases and heat.

Endless Summer Blushing Bride Hydrangea can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in foundation plantings, in containers or planters, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, under a shade tree, in landscape beds or islands, in small groupings or as a hedge and also in theme gardens, cottage gardens, perennial gardens or shade gardens.

More About Blushing Bride Hydrangea...

Noteworthy Characteristics

From the Endless Summer series, 'Blushing Bride' is mop head hydrangea with the unique ability to bloom consistently on both old and new wood. The result is a plant that provides beautiful flowers all summer long and deep into fall. The magnificent, 8-inch diameter, white flower clusters are flushed with soft pink and held on sturdy, upright stems. It is equally hardy as it is beautiful. We have yet to find a mophead hydrangea that stands up to the heat as well as those in the Endless Summer series.

Uses

Use Blushing Bride in the landscape as a single specimen, in small groupings, in flowering shrub borders, as a colorful natural hedge, as an accent in home foundation plantings, in containers, or in shady perennial or cottage gardens.

Culture & Care Tips

Unlike other mophead hydrangea, you can prune the Endless Summer hydrangeas at any time of year, though we recommend a late winter pruning and a deadheading (removal of faded flowers) after its first flush of blooms have faded. Though it will tolerate quite a bit of sun, we've found that Endless Summer Hydrangea performs best when provided shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, particularly in the hotter climate in the South. We recommend at least 5 to 6 hours of sun or all-day filtered sun for best flower production.
