A compact canopy with months of changing color
This tree-form hydrangea produces sturdy, upright flower clusters that open lime green, lighten to white, and gradually develop pink and rich red tones. Blooms transition at different times, creating an attractive mix of colors from summer into fall.
Its elevated, compact canopy brings color and structure to entryways, patios, foundation beds, and small landscapes without taking up excessive ground space. Cold hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, it blooms reliably on new growth and handles winter conditions well.
About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties. That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. In warmer climates, provide some afternoon shade. Plant with the root flare level with the surrounding soil, then water thoroughly and add a 2–3-inch mulch layer without touching the trunk.
2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season. Once established, water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, increasing frequency during hot weather or prolonged drought.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Since flowers form on new wood, remove weak or crossing branches and lightly shape the canopy. Remove any shoots growing from the trunk or base.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as growth begins. Avoid overfertilizing, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
