The Summer Crush Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Summer Crush') is a compact, reblooming variety known for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms and dark green foliage. This versatile, easy-to-grow plant is perfect for small gardens, containers, or mixed borders.
The Summer Crush Hydrangea is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to a height and width of 2 to 3 feet, making it one of the most compact varieties of bigleaf hydrangeas. This plant is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9 and thrives in part sun to part shade conditions. It prefers moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The plant's compact size and reblooming nature make it an excellent choice for small spaces, containers, or as a colorful accent in mixed borders.
One of the main attractions of the Summer Crush Hydrangea is its vibrant, large flowers that bloom from early summer to fall. The blooms appear in clusters, or mopheads, and can range in color from deep pink to rich violet-blue, depending on the soil's pH. In acidic soils (pH below 6), the flowers tend to be blue, while in alkaline soils (pH above 6), they are more likely to be pink. You can manipulate the flower color by adjusting the soil's pH using amendments like aluminum sulfate or lime.
The flowers of the Summer Crush Hydrangea are not only visually stunning but also versatile in their use. They make excellent cut flowers for fresh bouquets or can be dried for long-lasting arrangements. Additionally, the blooms serve as an essential source of nectar for pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to your garden.
