1 Live Plant Nikko Blue Mophead Hydrangea Quart Size
Nikko Blue is a classic mophead hydrangea grown for its large rounded flower clusters and reliable summer display. This deciduous shrub produces broad green foliage and dense blooms in blue to pink tones depending on soil conditions, making it a long-standing favorite for mixed borders, foundations, and patio containers.
Use Nikko Blue as a flowering accent in partly shaded gardens, woodland edges, or entry plantings where its full flower heads can be appreciated. It works well in mass plantings, cut flower gardens, and large containers. For best growth, provide consistent moisture, avoid prolonged drought, and allow room for the shrub to reach its mature spread. Flower color in many hydrangeas is influenced by soil pH, with acidic conditions tending toward blue and less acidic conditions tending toward pink.
