2 Gal. Summer Crush Hydrangea Shrub

What a beautiful, full and healthy plant! I am very pleased with the shipping which was right on time, and the packaging. Upon arrival there was minimal dirt spill and I mean very minimal. The plant did need to be watered, but I understand this plant dries up quickly and needs to be watered pretty often. When it arrived, it already had a bud started and I received it on June 17, today exactly one month later the bud has turned a beautiful color and the plant has grown so much bigger! I have it in the front yard of my Fort Worth, Texas home. I have not yet reported it, but I do plan to do so as I will grow it in pots. I plan to get more since it is so easy to care for I simply water it every other day in the morning. If you don’t water it, it will begin to wilt, and that is with just waiting one day until the afternoon to water it. Of course I do live in extreme Texas heat. This plant needs to have morning sun and definite afternoon shade or it will burn and die so make sure wherever you put it. It gets some shade in the afternoon and not late afternoon either. I first placed this plant in my backyard and it did not like it as I quickly saw it fading. I moved it after only 2 days thank goodness, or it may not have lasted. As far as I’m concerned, it is a great value for the money and I am so pleased. The first 4 photos are when I first received it, the middle 4 photos are from 7-13-25 and the last 3 photos are from today 7/17/25, you be the judge! Hopefully, I’ve helped you make your decisions. Have a great day!!!

Arrived as promised and a beautiful plant with two lovely blooms. Thick, healthy and ready for my garden. Was apprehensive based on other negative reviews (no leaves, dormant, dead, etc.) but this is early July and I have a garden with other hydrangea plants in full bloom - that's when you should order these plants (Spring to Summer) and not in the middle of Winter then whine because they are bare or look dead. These plants do go dormant, lose their leaves and look weak and dead-like. A little expensive but well worth it. I have blue, white, lavender and now the red raspberry. Note: to keep the blue a true blue the soil must be more acidic than alkaline. Try Miracle-Gro Miracid Acid-Loving Plant Food it works for me! Update: added photos 1 month later. (July 2023) Update: added photos 1 year later (June 2024) - She is still doing strong. It is June and buds are already appearing. She bloomed mid-July last year (her first year) and hopping to have more blooms this year. These plants are all grown in my garden on Russian Hill in San Francisco.

Love it! Definitely recommend! It came nice and together. Was NOT wilted at all.

Received on 03/07 as a dormant root with less buds then what is pictured in my March photo. The packaging was perfect; no broken pieces or soil spillage. I kept the plant inside and occasionally brought it outside when the weather was nice for about a week until it was ready to go in the ground. I’m in Texas and we have clay soil. The plant is thriving and finally producing beautiful flowers. This is my first time planting hydrangea so when the dormant root came in I didn’t know what to expect, but now I am happy with the purchase.

My hydrangea is doing well. I've had a few problems with blackspot, but have been treating it with Neem Oil. So far, it's growing. The plant was very healthy and good size, plus well packed. Also, I planted it right away, and gave it lots of love.

No blooms upon delivery. Quality was Fair to Good. The size was a bit smaller than I had envisioned, but that just may be because of the advertising that I am constantly being shown. The woman standing in a greenhouse with many blooming pots of red hydrangeas. It's shape is globular. The leaf color is lime green. It hasn't grown as far as I can see, I have had it 3 days now. I cannot speak to it's value until I see some new growth. On delivery Unopened it, and it had some leaves on the outer edge that were black, hopefully this is not a fungus, but due to being in the dark for so long. I trimmed them off.

Gorgeous healthy and large hydrangea plant which I potted in a self watering pot on outside deck. Started blooming with green buds which turned into a mix of green and pink then full pink. Very healthy. Very happy.

The plant nice healthy looking green. The only thing is it has brown spots all over the leaves. I don’t know what it is but there’s a little specs of like a deep brown spots or what but I’m hoping it don’t die off so far it’s still looks good it’s just got brown specs everywhere need to redo it my review so I can take a picture and send the picture in, don’t know how to get rid of it or what it is
