According to the National Garden Bureau, 2020 is the Year of the Hydrangea.
And we think that adding this new hydrangea variety to your garden is the perfect way to celebrate!
The stunning Wee Bit Giddy hydrangea was introduced byProven Winnersfor home gardens this year.
But forget the pale pinks and baby blues that youre used to seeing on these plants.
Wee Bit Giddy delivers something much more thrilling.
It was bred from two other macrophylla cultivars to create a plant with both vibrant color and reblooming flowers.
In alkaline soil, chartreuse buds open to blooms that are an intense shade of raspberry.
Increase the acidity of the soil, and the flower color changes further to deep violet.
The flowers on this dwarf variety form large and neat heads against deep green foliage and stems.
Or use them in yourperennial gardenas a border plant.

How to Grow This Hydrangea
Wee Bit Giddy will grow in zones 5 to 9.
Plant these hydrangeas in well-draining soil in a sunny to partially sunny location.
(In hotter locations be sure the plants get some protection with partial shading.)
Add a layer of mulch at the roots and give the hydrangeas consistent waterings throughout the season.
Fertilize the plants in early spring and late spring to encourage reblooming for the summer.
So dont be discouraged if your hydrangeas are shy their first year.
Your patience will be rewarded in seasons to come.
For the raspberry pink blooms, your soil should be alkaline with a pH of 7.0 or higher.
Soils with a low pH will give you violet flowers.
