Discover Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha® Hydrangea: A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® favorite.
Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha® Hydrangea, part of the esteemed Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs lineup, embodies beauty and resilience in a small, woody deciduous shrub. Revel in its year-round allure, as it blooms continually from summer through fall, adorning your garden with magnificent, dinner plate-size lacecap clusters of large waterlily-like doubled florets, available in pink or blue depending on your soil's chemistry.
This shrub not only enhances your landscape with its ornamental charm but also serves as a sanctuary for wildlife. Its sterile flowers, perfect for both fresh and dried arrangements, attract butterflies and beneficial insects during summer, while its seeds entice songbirds in late fall.
Embrace the changing seasons with Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha®. After the first frost, its flower clusters transform into warm tones of tan and caramel, complementing the peeling bark that reveals glimpses of cinnamon-hued stems and branches, adding texture to the winter garden.
Resilient and adaptable, Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha® thrives in various environments. With a refined, mounded habit and medium growth rate, it's perfect for containers, beds, or borders. Provide some morning sun and afternoon shade, rich, well-draining soil, and ample hydration for optimal performance. Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant, it's a reliable addition to your garden oasis.
Hydrangea serrata, the parent of Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha®, captivates with its ability to change color with soil pH, transitioning from pink in alkaline soil to blue in acidic environments.
Elevate your garden with Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha® Hydrangea a testament to nature's enduring grace and Proven Winners® excellence.
