Summer Crush Bigleaf Hydrangea 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 2 Gallon – Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmacfive’

Summer Crush® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmacfive’) is a compact, reblooming deciduous shrub from the Endless Summer® collection. It is admired for its abundant, rounded mophead flowers that display rich raspberry-red coloration in suitable soil conditions. In acidic soils with available aluminum, the blossoms may develop vibrant purple-blue tones, creating a striking contrast against the plant's lush green foliage.

This ornamental hydrangea develops a compact, rounded, bushy growth habit with sturdy stems that support its colorful flower clusters. Summer Crush® can produce blooms on both old and new wood, providing the potential for repeat flowering from summer into fall under favorable growing conditions. Its compact form makes it suitable for foundation plantings, cottage gardens, mixed shrub borders, ornamental beds, and outdoor containers. It performs best in morning sunlight with afternoon shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Each order includes 1 live Summer Crush® Bigleaf Hydrangea shrub supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. Flower color varies naturally with soil pH, aluminum availability, and growing conditions; a specific bloom color cannot be guaranteed. As a deciduous shrub, it may arrive dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers depending on the season.
