Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Grenan'

Nantucket Blue™ Hydrangea distinguishes itself through exceptional repeat-blooming capability on new growth, delivering sustained floral displays from early summer through early autumn frost. This cultivar produces abundant blue or pink panicle clusters—contingent upon soil pH—that contrast beautifully against dense leathery green foliage. Its dual wood-blooming habit ensures reliable flowering regardless of pruning severity, while coastal and inland performance demonstrates remarkable environmental adaptability. Afternoon shade or dappled light beneath mature trees optimizes performance, though east or north exposures prove equally suitable. Its versatility encompasses accent plantings, mass compositions, and water-garden integration, rendering it an outstanding selection for gardeners seeking extended seasonal color and reliable performance across diverse landscape applications..

Shade hydrangeas prefer moist soil and regular watering during the growing season. For most, in order to obtain the blue flower color, apply 2 tablespoons of aluminum sulfate near the base of the plant. A rusty nail or coffee grounds will also increase the acidity of the soil which makes the flowers turn blue.
