Back to buying optionsNikko Blue Hydrangea – Live Plant | 6–12 Inches Tall | 1 Quart Pot | Blue Mophead Flowering Shrub | Zones 5–9 | Garden & Patio Friendly
Add classic summer color to your landscape with this live Nikko Blue Hydrangea. This popular mophead hydrangea is prized for its large, rounded flower clusters and lush green foliage, creating an elegant display in garden beds, borders, foundation plantings, hedges, and decorative containers.
Nikko Blue is especially interesting because flower color can vary with soil chemistry. Under acidic conditions, blooms generally develop stronger blue tones, while less acidic to alkaline conditions can encourage pinker shades. Natural variations in soil, climate, and growing conditions can create beautiful differences in color.
You will receive one healthy young Nikko Blue Hydrangea approximately 6–12 inches tall, established in a 1-quart nursery pot. Plants may experience temporary leaf drop or mild stress during shipping. Exact height, fullness, foliage, and flowering stage will naturally vary, and young plants may arrive without flowers.
IMPORTANT: No shipping to Alaska (AK), Hawaii (HI), or Puerto Rico (PR).

✔️ 1 live Nikko Blue Hydrangea plant

💡 Care Tip: Keep your Nikko Blue Hydrangea consistently watered, especially during warm or dry weather. For bluer flowers, maintain appropriately acidic soil; flower color can shift toward pink as soil pH increases. After shipping, place the plant in a protected location with bright indirect light or gentle morning sun while it acclimates. Nikko Blue primarily flowers on old wood, so avoid heavy late-season or spring pruning that could remove developing flower buds.
