Description
Add rich color and reliable performance to smaller spaces with Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wee Bit Giddy®’ (Bigleaf Hydrangea ‘Wee Bit Giddy®’). This compact mophead hydrangea stays tidy while producing large, saturated blooms that lean red-pink in neutral to alkaline soil and take on richer purple tones in more acidic conditions. You will also appreciate its glossy green foliage and mounded habit for borders, low hedges, and container plantings.
Give your plant evenly moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and mulch to keep roots cool and moisture steady. In warmer regions, provide afternoon shade for the best flower color and less stress; in cooler regions, full sun with some protection from wind helps promote strong growth. Consistent watering during summer growth is key, especially for container plants.
Because bigleaf hydrangeas set buds on older stems and also flower on new growth, prune sparingly. Remove only dead or damaged wood in early spring and leave healthy stems intact to protect bloom potential. In colder parts of its range, tuck it into a sheltered spot and use winter mulch to help safeguard buds. With the right siting, you can enjoy months of bold color on a plant that tops out around 12-24 inches tall.
