Blue Enchantress® hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Monmar’

This is a superb rebloomer for summer-long color. Large, blue mopheads age to a vintage cream-splashed green color. Blooms will turn pink with less acidity.

CareProvide enriched, well-drained soil. Avoid harsh sun in warmer zones. Fertilize in spring. Prune spent flowers to promote continued bloom. (Information provided by Monrovia.)
