Hydrangea macrophylla Blushing Bride

Description: Bailey Nurseries is introducing an Endless Summer derivative introduced by Baileys Nurseries. ‘Blushing Bride.' was bred from Endless summer by Dr. Michael Dirr, our nation's preeminent woody plant authority. It will have only limited availability this spring.

The blooms produced by 'Blushing Bride' are pure white, maturing to a blush pink or blue, depending upon your soil acidity. It has glossy, deep green foliage. 'Blushing Bride' has even faster re-bloom that its parent, Endless Summer. In addition to repeat blooms, 'Blushing Bride' hydrangea is unusually hardy, at least through in Zone 5.

'Blushing Bride' has the incredible repeat blooms that we love. Flower buds are formed not only in the fall, but also in spring and summer. As the 'Blushing Bride' continues to grow, it is continuously forming buds that will flower all season long. Prompt removal of the faded blooms will encourage new growth and even more new blooms.

'Blushing Bride' Hydrangea will mature at four feet tall by four feet wide, perhaps a little larger. Unlike other Hydrangea macrophyllas which can only be pruned just as the flowers fade, 'Blushing Bride' can be pruned at any time - although late summer is probably still preferable. 'Blushing Bride' prefers moist soil (not wet) in a place with afternoon shade and morning sun. It makes an excellent choice for foundation planting, as a specimen and in shrub or perennial borders.
