Bold red mophead flowers give the Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea its name and its striking good looks. This mounded form shrub blooms from late spring through fall for continuous color. Large flower clusters bloom on thick stems that also feature wide glossy leaves with pronounced veining and serrated edges. This is an easy-care perennial that provides dependable color throughout the summer.
This shrub has a naturally rounded shape and will be about 2 to 3 feet wide and tall once mature, making it a great size to create a low hedge or conceal a foundation wall. Feature this stunner in a mixed perennial bed for a burst of color. The flowers can be cut to use in arrangements or dried for long-lasting use. This beauty will also attract pollinators like butterflies. The Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea grows as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 9.
Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea Care
Plant in partial sun or an area that receives 3 to 4 hours of sunlight. A spot that receives morning light and shade during the afternoon is ideal. Plant in rich, moist but well-drained soil. The Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea is not picky about soil pH. This plant has medium water needs, so give it a drink when the top several inches of soil dry out.
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer to support new growth and plenty of blooms in the spring. Deadhead the plant to encourage more prolific blooming.
Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea Spacing
The Cherry-Go-Round™ Hydrangea will grow 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Plants can be spaced 1 to 2 feet apart for a full and dense look.
