Tuff Stuff Ah-Hah Hydrangea serrata is a compact hardy deciduous shrub with a tidy habit of upright stems and rich green wilt-resistant leaves. The color of the double-floret panicle clusters depends on the PH of the soil- in acidic soils the flowers will be light blue while alkaline flowers will be soft pink. Its a repeat bloomer with the first bloom on old wood in early summer and the second late in summer on new wood that lasts till frost. Best bloom in part sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
