Hydrangea 'Blue Wave' Details

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Blue Wave’ is a lacecap variety that features large flower heads made up of light blue flowers and dark blue florets. The flowers produced from summer through autumn are complemented by large and lush, green foliage which blends perfectly with the flowers. It grows as a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a rounded form to about 1.2 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this shrub are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. It is hardy to cool climates, frost, and short periods of dry. Hydrangea ‘Blue Wave’ is a great variety for adding to a mixed planting, maintaining in a container, growing as an informal hedge, including in a cottage garden, or using as a backdrop for smaller plants.
