1 Live Plant Nikko Blue Hydrangea Bush Tall Bare Root Hydrangea macrophylla

Nikko Blue Hydrangea is a classic bigleaf hydrangea prized for its large rounded clusters of blue blooms in suitable conditions. 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.
Nikko 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.
