Bloom type & color: Large mophead clusters; blue in acidic soil, pink in alkaline soil.
Reblooming: Flowers on old and new wood—repeat blooms with deadheading.
Season: Early summer through fall in waves.
Size & habit: Rounded shrub, typically 4–6 ft tall and wide.
Foliage: Glossy, medium-green leaves; good backdrop for the flowers.
Light: Morning sun, afternoon shade (or bright filtered light); protect from harsh midday sun.
Soil & water: Rich, well-drained, consistently moist soil; mulch to keep roots cool.
Pruning: Minimal—remove winter-killed wood in spring; if shaping, do it right after the first bloom.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–9.

All plants come with a regular black nursery pot.
