BloomStruck® Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea Macrophylla 'PIIHM-II' PP25,566)
BloomStruck Hydrangea is a type of hydrangea plant that was developed by a company called Endless Summer Hydrangeas. It is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to be 3-4 feet tall and wide, and produces large clusters of vibrant, pink or purple blooms from early summer through fall.
BloomStruck hydrangeas are known for their ability to produce blooms on both old and new wood, meaning that even if the plant experiences harsh winter weather and loses some of its older growth, it will still produce blooms the following season. This makes it a reliable and popular choice among gardeners who want to enjoy the beauty of hydrangeas year after year.
In terms of care, BloomStruck hydrangeas prefer partial to full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. They are also generally easy to maintain and do not require much pruning, although deadheading spent blooms can help encourage more growth and blooming.
Here are some tips for caring for your BloomStruck® hydrangea:
Planting: BloomStruck® hydrangeas prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Plant your hydrangea in an area that receives partial shade and avoid planting it in areas with full sun.
Watering: Keep the soil around your BloomStruck® hydrangea consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, and more frequently during periods of drought or high temperatures.
Fertilizing: Fertilize your BloomStruck® hydrangea in the spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in the fall, as this can encourage late-season growth that may not have time to harden off before winter.
Pruning: Prune your BloomStruck® hydrangea in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and cut back the remaining branches to promote a bushy growth habit.
Winter care: BloomStruck® hydrangeas are hardy to USDA Zone 5, but they may need some extra protection in areas with harsh winter weather. Cover the base of the plant with a thick layer of mulch to protect the roots, and wrap the plant with burlap to protect the branches from wind and snow.
By following these care tips, your BloomStruck® hydrangea should thrive and produce beautiful blooms for many years to come.
