‘Sweet Summer’ Hydrangea Tree

sweet late-summer blooms save the summer

The dense, broad-conical panicles of Sweet Summer blooms (up to 5″ long) emerge white in summer but change to light pink, while fluffy new white flowers are still emerging at the tips. This when most other flowers have long retired from the sun’s heat. This midsize hydrangea is resilient and has strong stiff stems for no drooping. Cut yours for fresh arrangements or for drying, or leave on the plant where they will persist well into winter.

Yours will do best in full sun to part shade, will bloom into the hottest days of summer when few other shrubs are flowering and look lovely as borders or along fences and walls.
