Nikko Blue Hydrangea

Blue is often a hard color to incorporate into the garden, and especially in the shade garden, but Nikko Blue Hydrangea changes all of that. Pure robin-egg blue flowers make Nikko Blue Hydrangea a top selling flowering shrub. Nikko Blue grows to 4-5 feet high and as wide, in the classic Hydrangea form, creating a soft mounding shrub with attractive deep green foliage.

Plant this vigorous Hydrangea under conifers or as a specimen in the shade perennial garden, and enjoy in the large round, blue flowers in the garden, as a cut flower, or in dried flower for floral arrangements. Nikko Blue Hydrangea is a marcophylla Hydrangea and is cold hardy for gardening zones 6-9. As with all macrophylla Hydrangeas, Nikko Blue grows best in well-drained soil that is high in organic matter and in shade to filtered sun locations.
