Tidal Wave Hydrangea is a large deciduous shrub noted for its bright green foliage and huge 15” cone-shaped panicles. These large airy panicles bloom creamy white and mature with flushes into deep pink from summer into fall, attracting butterflies. While can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils. Read about the introduction to our new Hydrangea Collection and limited time promotion here.
