Brimming with color, Tuff Stuff Top Fun hydrangea’s bold lacecap blooms are supported by bright burgundy stems. Each flower is filled with cheery green fertile florets at the center and purple or pink infertile florets around the edges. So inviting to pollinators and quite a lovely cut for florists.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hydrangea serrata Tuff Stuff Top Fun™
Moist but well drained soils are best. Tolerant of a range of soil pH levels, however, soil pH will influence flower color. Avoid pruning mountain hydrangeas, except to remove any dead wood. They do rebloom readily on new wood, but the best display comes from treating them as though they bloom only old wood.
