Wee Bit Giddy® Hydrangea

As we gear up for the new planting season, we have looked into the best-performing new products available for gardens and landscapes. We think the new Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangea is on that list of top new summer bloomers! This stunning display of bright red color comes in a durable, compact package with this hardy, low-maintenance hydrangea. It benefits from its parent cultivars, Cityline Paris and Let's Dance Rave hydrangeas. Plant a few Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas in your garden for vibrant color reblooming and attracting pollinators all summer. Like other macrophylla hydrangeas, Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas change color depending on the pH of the soil. Planting in more acidic soils will also display blooms with a deep purple-red tone. Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas are a new introduction from Proven Winners, and we love them for our gardens for various reasons. The biggest and best part that caught our eye was their eye-catching, vibrant red color that blooms and reblooms all summer. These spectacular mophead flowers will stand out in any garden, with bright pink-red blossoms framed with dark green foliage. If you want to punch up the color profile, use Espoma Soil Acidifier to amend your soil - the extra acidity will cause your Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas to bloom a rich purple color instead. This color-changing dynamic is one of our favorite traits of Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas. Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas are lovely for new gardeners since they have been cultivated to be durable, disease-resistant, and hardy in various soil conditions. These low-maintenance shrubs are also better left to grow their way - pruning or deadheading could negatively affect their natural reblooming cycles. Don't be afraid to take a few cuttings inside; fresh-cut hydrangea flowers will look stunning in a vase on your dining room table, and your hydrangeas outside will continue to bloom. Wee Bit Giddy® hydrangeas will work in many landscaping and gardening designs since they are compact dwarf shrubs and vibrant red rebloomers. You could plant a border around your garden, create a low hedge, or place one or two in choice locations as specimen focal points. They would also work in containers, but the color-changing options are best manipulated when planted in the ground. Since these will sometimes continue to bloom into late fall, you can use these flowering shrubs in your winter interest garden - leave the dried flower heads on the plants to attract birds in the winter months. We also love decorating fall and holiday centerpieces with dried flower heads.
