description for "Hydrangeas: Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nikko Blue'"
Bold color and bigger leaves best describe this Hydrangea. Like the common 'Nikko Blue' variety, this selection boasts broader leaves and slightly smaller flowers. Depending upon the PH of the soil, the flower color may be pink or blue. Blooms will first emerge in Summer and last until Fall. This frost tolerant selection thrives in full sun or part shade. It also makes a great hedge or living privacy blind. Hardy in zones 6-9. Edited by S. Derr
