Deep pink or blue lacecap flowers  that create a mass of color in early summer, and it continues to produce new flowers right up until frost. Bloom color is dependant on soil PH. Mountain hydrangeas grows wild on the chilly mountain tops instead of the mild seaside, it naturally developed substantially better cold tolerance. Tuff Stuff™ Hydrangea lives up to its name.

Tuff Stuff is exactly what you get I first saw this hydrangea in a garden in Cape Cod and fell in love. It definitely has some serrata traits for fall color and changing petal color but the double blooms are very eye catching. I saw it as a purple in the garden so we know it will be pH sensitive. With the compact nature, tuck this one anywhere you have a spot and it will bloom spring through fall! Hydrangea serrata 'MAK20' PP24820 | Proven Winners® Color Choice®
