Hydrangea Bigleaf 'Nikko Blue'

Hydrangea ‘Nikko Blue’ (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Nikko Blue’)
‘Nikko Blue’ is a classic bigleaf hydrangea with large, mophead clusters of vibrant blue flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. The striking color deepens with soil acidity, allowing gardeners to influence the shade of blue through care and fertilization. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the showy blooms.

This hydrangea performs best in part shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Ideal for foundation plantings, borders, or as a focal point in a mixed garden, ‘Nikko Blue’ adds a timeless splash of color and is excellent for cutting gardens.

Grows 3–6 ft. tall and 4–6 ft. wide. Zones 5–9.
