Attractive dark green foliage sets the stage for the rich pink to crimson blooms of the Frill Ride™ hydrangea that appear from spring through summer. These bold blooms also have uniquely frilly edges. The Frill Ride™ is a bigleaf hydrangea, known scientifically as Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Hokomabavii’. Flower panicles left on the shrub to dry after frost add stellar interest to the winter landscape or can be brought indoors to use in dried flower arrangements.
The Frill Ride™ hydrangea has a dense, compact habit that makes it an excellent candidate for small spaces like patio or container plantings. Unlike some shrubs, it does not get leggy, so there is no need to plant smaller specimens in front of it. It reblooms, demonstrates disease resistance, and has few maintenance requirements once site preparation and planting are done. The tidy habit of the Frill Ride™ makes it suitable for low hedges and mixed plantings.
Frill Ride™ Hydrangea Care
Plant the Frill Ride™ hydrangea in full sun in colder climates and part shade in hot regions. These plants prefer rich, well-drained soil and regular water, so plan to irrigate regularly during establishment and when weather is hot and dry. Apply a thick layer of organic mulch over the root zone for added protection. Like other hydrangeas, soil pH affects the color of this plant’s blooms. Acidic soil gives flowers a purple-violet hue, while alkalinity turns them pink. For maximum plant vigor, apply a balanced fertilizer lightly at regular intervals throughout the growing season.
The Frill Ride™ hydrangea flowers on old growth, so prune after blooming in late spring. Simply cut old flower heads back to the nearest node. Any cuts made after August 1 may reduce flowering the following year.
Frill Ride™ Hydrangea Spacing
This hydrangea is a compact shrub that only grows 2-3 feet tall and wide. Space shrubs 2-3 feet apart to form a low hedge, or give each hydrangea a bit more space in a mixed planting. For container growing, choose a planter with a diameter of at least 18 inches for the Frill Ride™.

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).

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.
