BloomStruck® Reblooming Hydrangea provides unforgettable impact in the landscape. It is a bigleaf hydrangea that is one of the newer additions to the Endless Summer collection of hydrangeas. This reblooming hydrangea adds color to the garden all season long with vivid rose-pink or blue-purple hydrangea flower heads, depending on your soil pH. It has incredibly beautiful red-purple stems and dark green leaves with red petioles and red veins, which give great contrast to your other garden shrubs, perennials, and annuals. BloomStruck® has extremely strong stems, above average heat tolerance, and great disease resistance, especially to powdery mildew. It is a perfect combination of beauty and hardiness for your garden! Blooms off of old and new wood. Pruning is usually not necessary other than removing dead, diseased, or winter-damaged branches. Remove branches that are rubbing against each other or are growing outward in a way that spoils the shrubs overall mounded shape. Attracts butterflies and bees. Bred by Dr. Michael Dirr. (Hydrangea macrophylla 'PIIHM-II)
