Description
L.A. Dreamin’ Hydrangea provides bold and beautiful 8-inch diameter snowball-like flower clusters of blue, pink, lavender and all shades between on the same bush! The soil pH has no effect on its ability to produce flowers of multi colors so you won’t have to worry about adding specific nutrients to get a desired flower color. Flowers appear in early summer and continue to the first frost in fall. It is equally hardy as it is beautiful. In our gardens, this amazing mophead hydrangea stands up to the heat as well as the Endless Summer.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing naturally in a rounded mound 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, the L.A. Dreamin’ Hydrangea is ideal for use as a specimen or accent or grouping in home foundation plantings, flowering shrub borders and perennial gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is especially stunning in larger groupings or in straight or staggered rows as a colorful hedge. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, cut flower gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Planting Zone 5a, where this Hydrangea variety is not reliably winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers that can be moved indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
L.A. Dreamin’ Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones and part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones. For best flowering, we suggest 4 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic. Flower color is your choice. Acidic soils will make blue flowers while a neutral to slightly alkaline soil will make pink flowers.
Note: L.A. Dreamin’ is a Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds that formed on “old wood” (during the previous year). This means that even though it is tempting to cut them back in the winter, when they are only bare sticks jutting out of the ground, don’t do it. The flower buds are already formed and hidden in those bare sticks, so don’t cut them off if you want flowers.
