The most compact blue hydrangea on the market Details: Name: Hydrangea macrophylla 'SMNHNTAU' pp#27,035, cbr#5283, also known as French hydrangea. Hardiness: USDA zones 5-9 Height x width: 1-2' tall and wide Light: Full to part sun Soil: Evenly moist but well-drained soils are best. A 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch is recommended in all areas, all year round. Pruning: Blooms on old and new wood; do not trim or cut back, but dead wood may be removed in early spring Water: Average to high water needs. Though big leaf hydrangeas cannot grow in wet soils, they can become drought stressed readily and should be watered regularly. Plants in full sun and/or warmer climates will need more water than those in less sun and/or cooler areas.  Fertilizer: Fertilize once in early spring with a rose fertilizer if desired. Bloom time: Midsummer through fall. Bloom color: Flower color depends on soil pH; though "blue" is in the name, that indicates that this plant will very easily turn blue if conditions are right (acidic soil that contains aluminum). In alkaline/low aluminum conditions, blooms will be a lovely pink. Uses: A classic choice for including in gardens and landscaping, it also makes a nice choice for low hedges and containers.
