Garnetta Hydrangea brings a stunning burst of continuous blooms to your landscape with its voluminous mophead clusters that flourish from midsummer through early fall. This hydrangea develops a dense, compact shrub form with richly textured foliage that provides a refined backdrop to its abundant, showy blossoms. The blooms display a delightful blend of pink and white hues—colors that are enhanced when grown in slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5–6.5). Ideal as a focal point in mixed shrub borders or as a striking specimen in containers, Garnetta Hydrangea offers a tidy, low-maintenance display that adds enduring visual interest.
General Care

- Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5)
- Watering: Water deeply and consistently during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and help regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain its natural, bushy form without disrupting bloom production
