Hydrangea ‘Nikko Blue’ (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Nikko Blue’) is a classic, old-fashioned flowering shrub loved for its large, rounded mophead blooms and lush green foliage. Its beautiful flowers typically appear in summer and can reach approximately 5 inches across. Depending on soil conditions, the blooms may range from rich steel blue to pink, adding a colorful display to garden beds, borders, and shaded outdoor spaces. This fast-growing hydrangea can add up to 24 inches of growth per year under favorable conditions and eventually develop into a full, rounded shrub. It grows best in partial shade with rich, well-draining soil that retains moisture. Each order includes one healthy, well-rooted starter plant approximately 6–10 inches tall, growing in a small nursery pot. Plant size and appearance may vary.

💡 Care Tip: Plant your Nikko Blue Hydrangea in partial shade and keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot weather. Soil acidity and aluminum availability influence flower color: more acidic soil with available aluminum generally encourages blue blooms, while less acidic soil often produces pinker flowers. Avoid strong afternoon sunlight and provide good drainage to help the roots stay healthy.
