Hydrangea macrophylla 'Bailmacfive' SUMMER CRUSH is a standout bigleaf hydrangea that takes the traditional mophead cultivars to new heights of color and reblooming performance. Unlike many hydrangea varieties that only flower once per season, SUMMER CRUSH delights with vibrant, raspberry-red blooms that appear repeatedly from early summer through fall. Its compact, rounded habit makes it a perfect fit for smaller gardens, patio containers, or foundation plantings, while the boldly-hued flowers command attention wherever they're grown. Thriving in partial shade, this reliable rebloomer continually cycles through shades of red, pink, and even purple depending on soil pH, providing ever-changing seasonal interest. The lush, dark green foliage forms a lovely backdrop for the intensely colored, long-lasting blooms. Easy to maintain and unfazed by heat and humidity, SUMMER CRUSH is a true hydrangea superstar that elevates the genus with its exceptional floral display and extended flowering period.
