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.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
