Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmer’
A Bailey Nurseries introduction, a mophead type hydrangea with the unique ability to bloom consistently on both old and new wood. The result is a plant that provides beautiful flowers all summer long. The flowers grow up to 8″ in diameter, with pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue blooms in acidic soil. Since it blooms on new wood, removal of spent flowers will encourage rebloom.
BloomStruck, part of the Endless Summer Collection, is exceptionally cold hardy. After 50 days below 0° F and a low of -28° F, BloomStruck flowered heavily the following spring on old growth and put out loads of blooms on new growth. Glossy dark green leaves are more heat resistant, which prevents wilting in mid-day heat. This reblooming mophead has rounded flowers averaging 3.5 – 5″ across in intense rose-pink, violet, or blue, depending on pH levels. Flower heads are held upright on striking ruby-red stems.
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Bailmacfive’
It’s not just about blue or pink anymore! With a profusion of big raspberry red or neon purple blooms, Summer Crush is a color breakthrough in reblooming garden hydrangeas. Introduced by Bailey Innovations, this new addition is the result of focused breeding and years of production and field testing. Proven to be Zone 4 cold hardy and the most wilt resistant Endless Summer yet, this compact growing hydrangea with dark green glossy leaves fits smaller spaces in the garden and is the perfect size for patio containers.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renba’
With strong, upright stems and large cone-shaped flower panicles that stay upright, this plant is a summer stunner. Like the other paniculatas, the flower color starts out white in July then progresses to dark pink. Coloring occurs from the bottom and progresses to the top of the panicle. Berry White blooms a little later than Strawberry Sundae and about the same time as Vanilla Strawberry. Color shades can vary according to location, climate and type of soil.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bailpanone’
An exciting new compact panicle hydrangea introduction, Little Hottie™ has very full flower heads with florets that emerge green and turn sparkling white. This well-branched, compact panicle hydrangea is covered in large blooms from the bottom to the top of the plant and holds tight flower clusters out on strong stems. Flowers don’t get heat-stressed or turn brown in excessive heat. With natural basal branching, this new introduction doesn’t need much pruning in production or the landscape to grow into a well-shaped plant with strong stems. Fall color is soft pink.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Renhy’
The enormous flower panicles are a blend of vanilla and strawberry, held upright on red stems. They emerge creamy white in mid-summer, change to pink and finally to strawberry red. New blooms give the plant a multicolored effect in late summer and early fall. The red coloration persists for at least 3-4 weeks.
Hydrangea arborescens ‘Abetwo’
Giant blooms that have roughly 4 times as many flowers as Annabelle. The show begins in midsummer with huge round blooms clustered atop sturdy branches that are surrounded by medium green oval leaves. Cut back in spring to promote flowering on summer wood. Fantastic as a specimen shrub or in a border.
Limelight has unique chartreuse blooms in mid-summer that change to pink in fall. Good massed, as a hedge, in containers or as a cut flower.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Rendia’
This variety has abundant, long lasting, rounded flower heads that start white and progress to pink, intense raspberry red and finally wine red. Flowers start blooming in July and take on red coloration earlier in the season than other pink paniculatas. Flower color is best in the fall when night temperatures are 10 degrees cooler than day temperatures. Compared to Strawberry Sundae, Diamond Rouge is slightly bigger and has distinct raspberry-red flowers that color earlier in the season. Benefits from multiple prunes in production to produce strong stems. Flower color varies based on climate and growing conditions.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Rensun’
Strawberry Sundae is similar to Vanilla Strawberry but much more compact. Flowers emerge creamy white in mid- summer and change to pink as night temperatures cool down. With its compact habit, this hydrangea adds striking flowers to small spaces and is nicely proportioned for patio containers. The color lasts well into fall. Excellent for fresh cut and dried flower arrangements. Flower color varies based on climate and growing conditions.
Hydrangea paniculata ‘HYPMAD I’
With a commanding presence in the summer and fall garden, White Diamonds is an exceptional compact hydrangea with glistening white panicles that are held upright and eventually fade to parchment and pink. Smaller and more manageable than most H. paniculata, White Diamonds boasts dark green leathery foliage that displays increased heat and drought tolerance. Use as an anchor in the mixed border, plant as a hedge or in a large grouping for a magnificent effect.
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘BAILMACSIX’
Genetically compact and incredibly floriferous, Pop Star® Hydrangea is a lacecap variety that is a standout in the landscape or decorative container. With strong bud hardiness and reliable rebloom, Pop Star® is a blooming powerhouse. Its short stature makes this a strong border or short hedge plant that doesn’t need pruning to keep its size and is great for year-after-year color on your deck, patio, or porch. The dark green leaves against the blue or pink blooms give the classic hydrangea look, while the lacecap flowers add extra texture and interest to the garden.
