The Proven Winners ColorChoice® Cityline® Mars Hydrangea is a very small and compact shrub with very unique flowers. The blooms range from red or pink with lime green edges, to blue and purple with white edges on the pedals. The flower pedals have a variegated look to them. The color is determined by the soil pH. Blue and purple flowers come from acidic soils. Red and pink flowers grow in more alkaline soils. These shrubs perform very well by the ocean, and prefer moist conditions. The plant is also mildew resistant, which helps in rainy areas.
Cityline Mars Hydrangea Care
These bushes do best in well-drained soil. We recommend amending the soil with peat moss or compost. Applying mulch will help retain moisture as well as adding extra winter protection, which may be necessary in colder climates with harsh winter conditions. Pruning Cityline Mars Hydrangea is not necessary, but if you choose to do so, trim immediately after flowering. This shrub blooms on old wood, so pruning in fall or winter will reduce the amount of blooms for the following year. You should also provide extra protection during winter to help keep the flower buds safe from the cold. If you plant this shrub in a garden planter, be sure to either move the plant indoors over the winter, or plant in the ground in the fall. Fertilize in early spring, using slow release fertilizer designed specifically for woody plants, such as roses.
Cityline Mars Hydrangea Spacing
Plant these shrubs 2 to 4 feet apart, center on center. To create a landscape border, plant these a little closer together, around 18 to 24 inches apart, center on center. These do great in containers, but need to be planted in the ground in the fall.

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.
