Double Down® Hydrangea, or Hydrangea mac. Double Down® is a stunning shrub loaded with reblooming orbs of magnificent double flowers that bloom in the summer. In contrast to its vivacious blossoms, Double Down® also has dense, glossy green foliage. Reaching heights of 3 to 4 feet with a spread of 3 to 4 feet, the flowers of this incredible hydrangea are a vivid shade of cobalt blue in acidic soils, and lavender to pastel pink in alkaline and neutral soils. These Hydrangeas bloom most heavily in the summer, but can continue blooming and reblooming well into the autumn season. As the flowers of the Double Down® mature, the flowers take on hints of green.
This stunning mophead hydrangea is sure to be a favorite in your garden. Native to Japan, the Double Down® Hydrangea is a rounded variety with a compact, symmetrical habit. They are a favorite of florists and make excellent, long-lasting cut flowers, and since they grow from both old and new wood, they will continue to amaze even after a long winter. They are not deer resistant, and we recommend using a deer repellent, especially on new buds or in areas with high populations of deer.
Double Down Hydrangea Care
The low-maintenance Double Down® Hydrangea thrives in full to partial sun and dappled to full shade. It should be watered regularly until the plant has reached maturity. Established plants will need average water. You should feed your hydrangeas annually, in the spring, with organic fertilizer. To encourage a more vibrant shade of blue, add aluminum to the soil before planting. Hydrangeas prefer moist soil with good drainage. They do not tolerate standing water.
Double Down Hydrangea Spacing
The Double Down® Hydrangea is a favorite of florists and gardeners, and can be incorporated in a variety of floral arrangements and bouquets. They look great planted in shady, compact spaces, or in pots and containers with excellent drainage. Hydrangeas need good air flow to thrive and should be spaced a minimum of 2 feet apart center to center. They are a welcome addition to any small garden.

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.
