More about this plant
Wee Bit Giddy hydrangea will put a smile on your face - not just because it's absolutely beautiful (though it is!), but because this durable, handsome plant was developed specifically for improved performance in your garden. You might think of it as an improved version of our best-selling Cityline Paris hydrangea, as it shares its same intense red flower color and neat, dwarf habit; however, it adds in the robust durability of Let's Dance Rave hydrangea, which imbues it with outstanding performance in the landscape, even in USDA zones 5 and 6. Later on in the summer, you'll get to enjoy a flush of new wood flowers.
- Part Shade
- Grows to 8 ft tall and 8 ft wide
- Blooms in summer
- Hardy in USDA zones 5-9
- Deciduous foliage
