Bud-hardy rebloomer! We wanted a hydrangea with improved bud and stem hardiness in addition to the ability to flower on new wood - and we created Tuff Stuff™ Hydrangea serrata. Deep pink lacecap flowers create a mass of color in early summer, and it continues to produce new flowers right up until frost. The semi-double to double florets begin with creamy coloration in the center before maturing to an intense pink. If you've had inconsistent performance with H. macrophylla, try the Tuff Stuff™ series - they're the reblooming hydrangeas that deliver on their promise.
