Hydrangea Nikko Blue is one of the most reliable blue Hydrangeas blooming blue in a wider range of soils.
Nikko Blue starts with flowers that are cream with blue margins than turn a solid blue as the plant matures. In acidic soil, Nikko Blue has deep blue flowers, but alkaline soil turns blooms pink. The Blooms are full and fluffy and make for beautiful dried arrangements that keep their color.
Nkko Blue grows well in partial shade. The blooms are formed on growth from the previous season so any pruning should be done right after flowering.
Nikko Blue pairs well with colorful Heucheras, bold-leaf Hostas, and Hardy Ferns.
Hydrangeas are continuing to take the flowering shrub world by storm. They are widely adaptable to both clay and sandy soil provided they are given copius amounts of water during the prolonged summer dry spells. Almost all Hydrangeas thrive under morning sun and protection from the intense afternoon sun. This queen of the flowering shrubs allows for a multitude of uses in garden designs including: solitary specimen, mass plantings, or even container gardens. They even make long-lasting cut flowers!
