Tiny Tuff Stuff Hydrangea is a hardy dwarf deciduous shrub with a tidy habit of upright stems and rich green wilt-resistant leaves. The lacecap clusters' double petaled flowers color depends on the PH of the soil- in acidic soils the flowers will be soft blue while alkaline flowers will be soft pink. Its a repeat bloomer with the first bloom on old wood in early summer and the second late in summer on new wood. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
