A buoyant, colorful Hydrangea, All Summer Beauty opens the season with a prolific performance of flowers—then continues with an encore that lasts all season. This bright and bouncy mophead features a pleasing blue color that holds in acid soils and shades of purple and pink in a more alkaline garden. Even better, All Summer Beauty blooms on both old and new wood, so you’ll enjoy a proliferation of flowers all season long. As the first flowers fade, others pop up to take their place.
All Summer Beauty provides lots of texture and interest in the winter, as its dried blooms add a quiet allure to the cold landscape. Winter treats this plant well—this Hydrangea will come back after even a very cold season. Hydrangea macrophylla ‘All Summer Beauty’Botanical Name:Hydrangea macrophylla ‘All Summer Beauty’
