I've had it 3 years now, pruned to a standard. Placed it next to my house, surrounded by sidewalk. When I bought it it had huge blooms. It doesn't grow, and the blooms are tiny.

I have it growing in shade under oaks and maples. It seems tolerant of drought once established. It was rather sparse until I tipped each branch back one year. The next year it was much fuller and has bloomed well ever since.

Information from both "Hydrangeas for American Gardens," by Michael A. Dirr (2004) and "Encyclopedia of Hydrangeas" C.J. and D.M. Van Gelderen (2004 - Timber Press).

This shrub grows up to 10 feet. The panicles appear late in the summer, and the flowering period can go well into October and possibly beyond in the right climate (Nantucket is suggested). There are a mixture of fertile and sterile flowers in the panicles, but the sepals are not tightly packed, giving an 'airy' impression. Depending on weather condition (cooler), the sepals turn pinkish. This selection has gained momentum in the nursery and landscape trades.

Van Gelderen says that the origin of 'Tardiva' is uncertain. According to one source (Bean 1991), it is a French introduction. Van Gelderen's information states that it was raised by Crown Commisioners, Windsor, UK, before 1975.

This cultivar has flowers similar to the more familiar Floribunda, but they develop later in the season. It can be trained as a standard or allowed to grow as a multi-stemmed shrub.
