The large multicolor blooms of the Garden Party Hydrangea will definitely be something to celebrate when they burst forth from late spring onwards. Showy 8 to 10-inch flowers develop in shades of pink or blue depending on the soil pH and continue throughout the growing season. This hydrangea blooms during its first year and features more blooms than most hydrangeas. Large green foliage develops on sturdy branches that form a mound up to 3 to 5 feet tall.
This easy-to-grow hydrangea is not only deer resistant but also cold hardy down to USDA zone 4. Its flowers are either pink in alkaline soil or blue in acidic soil. It blooms all summer to the first frost. Small enough to be grown in a container, it is also highly effective for a foundation or border planting. Its ornate blooms are also exquisite when used as a cut flower.
Garden Party Hydrangea Care
The Garden Party Hydrangea performs best when grown in partial or dappled shade and in fertile, moist and well-drained soil. A consistently moist, but not saturated soil is needed to support steady growth and healthy foliage. Fertilize with an all-purpose or hydrangea-specific, slow-release feed in early spring.
Minimal pruning is needed to care for the Garden Party Hydrangea. In early spring, simply remove any dead or damaged branches and mulch with organic matter to prevent moisture loss. This hydrangea blooms on both new and old wood, so pruning in spring will not reduce later blooms. Container-grown specimens will require more frequent irrigation to keep the soil from drying out.
Garden Party Hydrangea Spacing
Over time the Garden Party Hydrangea will grow to 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. Plant at a spacing of 3 to 6 feet apart depending on how defined you would like the shrubs to 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.
