Description
Twist N Shout Hydrangea electrifies your landscape with its exuberant floral clusters that seem to burst into a lively dance. The blooms ignite in a brilliant lime green and gradually shift into soft pink hues as the season unfolds, offering a continuously evolving display that captivates from midsummer through early fall. Its compact, mounded habit and rich, dark green foliage provide a refined backdrop that highlights the dynamic color transformation—a phenomenon that is optimized in rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5). Perfect as a focal point in mixed shrub borders or as an eye-catching specimen in containers, this hydrangea thrives in full sun to part sun, making it an adaptable, low-maintenance statement piece for any landscape.
General Care
- Sunlight: Performs best in full sun to part sun (ideally 5–6 hours of direct light daily)
- Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5)
- Watering: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season to maintain even soil moisture
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
- Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering in early fall to maintain its natural, compact form without removing future bloom sites
Invigorate your landscape with the vibrant energy of Twist N Shout Hydrangea—a deciduous shrub that delivers a dynamic, continuously shifting burst of color and refined textural elegance all season long.
