Hydrangea macrophylla 'Stragrum'

 

Wee Bit Grumpy® Hydrangea delivers prolific flowering performance within a restrained 2 to 3-foot frame, perfectly proportioned for underplanting beneath windows and taller specimens in shade gardens. This reblooming cultivar flowers on both old and new wood, extending color throughout the season while responding dynamically to soil chemistry—producing blue blooms in acidic conditions and pink in alkaline soils. Early spring applications of aluminum sulfate shift flower color toward blue, offering gardeners direct control over seasonal hue. Its compact architecture combined with abundant large-scale blooms and color flexibility makes it an exceptional choice for shade gardeners seeking sustained ornamental interest without substantial spatial requirements.

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.
