This hydrangea is my best bloomer--no problems at all with later winter freezing of buds. The blue is so intense and the flowers last a long time. However it has not gotten as big as I expected--three years in my garden and it's still only a couple of feet tall (about 4 feet wide).

Does beautifully planted facing east with full sun until noon near the faucet so it gets plenty of moisture.

Neutral lupinelover On Jan 20, 2003, lupinelover from Grove City, OH (Zone 6a) wrote:

The buds are hardier than most cultivars, making it more likely to bloom in marginal areas. A spreading growth habit. Flowers are deep blue with dark centers.
