Comments: Flowers on old wood and color not reflected by soil acidity. They are blue-lavender in acid soils and basic ones. Grow best in dryish soils and tend to die quickly when soil stays wet. Prefers full sun, unlike most hydrangeas. Can be grown in colder locations, if protected from cold, drying winds.
