Naturally compact and more cold hardy than other macrophylla Hydrangeas, ‘Summer Crush’ produces abundant floral-quality blooms ranging from vibrant raspberry red or fuschia to neon purple above a compact dwarf mound of dense, dark green foliage. The flowers come in late spring and then rebloom again in summer through fall. As with most other mophead Hydrangeas, you choose the color. An alkaline to neutral produces the characteristic raspberry red flowers while and acidic soil produces fuschia to purple!

What we really like about Summer Crush Hydrangea here in north central Georgia, where summers can be intensely hot and humid, is the waxy leaves that prevent wilting in the midday heat. The foliage is exceptionally dense and no pruning is necessary. At a size of only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, there’s no doubt you can find a spot for at least one of these beauties somewhere in your landscape!
