This one-year-old bare root plant arrives ready to establish and brings a full, shrubby presence to beds, borders, and containers as it grows. Its mophead flowers and broad green foliage make it a favorite for seasonal color and cut flower arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e\nNikko Blue is a deciduous shrub that flowers on old wood, so it benefits from a protected spot and consistent moisture during the growing season. The bloom color is influenced by soil conditions: acidic soils tend to produce blue tones, while more alkaline soils shift flowers toward pink or purple. It works well as a specimen plant, in mixed shrub borders, or in large patio containers, and the dried blooms can be used in arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Hydrangea macrophylla\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Nikko Blue\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright rounded, woody branching\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Partial shade to dappled sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Rich, moist, well-drained, evenly hydrated\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 36-60 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms on old wood; color depends on soil conditions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663612936328,"sku":"BTR-065","price":38.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_75ed401b-995d-49ba-b4ea-80e480863193.png?v=1791897302","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/1-live-plant-nikko-blue-hydrangea-bush-tall-bare-root-hydrangea-macrophylla","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
