Description
Fittingly named, the Starfield Hydrangea produces so many clusters packed with star-shaped flowers throughout the season it looks like a galaxy of blooms! Blooming abundantly and repeatedly throughout summer and into fall, it displays large 6 to 8 inch diameter rounded clusters of double flowers held on strong stems just above the compact mound of rich green foliage. The flower color is up to you. An alkaline soil makes pink shades. A neutral soil makes dark pink to purple shades. An acid soil makes violet-blue shades. Simply apply pelletized lime to turn blue to pink or Aluminum Sulfate to turn pink to blue. At about 2.5 to 3 feet tall and equality wide, Starfield is an exquisite specimen for partially shaded smaller garden spaces and flowering shrub borders or in groupings or as a natural hedge where space allows. Also excellent in containers that can be situated on patios, decks, porches and balconies where the gorgeous flowers can be viewed from close up.
