Sweet Summer Hydrangea, or Hydrangea panicle Sweet Summer ('Bokrathirteen') is dense, resilient shrub with mounds of fluffy, conical panicles. These blooms are packed with clusters of white florets that blush to multi-toned shades of light pink as the summer fades into fall. The Sweet Summer Hydrangea is long-blooming and prolific, providing stunning color all season long. In addition to its mammoth blooms, held aloft on super strong stems, the Sweet Summer Hydrangea produces a vibrant bed of contrasting, green foliage. The Sweet Summer grows to a mature height of 5 to 6 feet, with an equal spread. They are a beautiful addition to any landscape.
Bred by Bloomables®, the Sweet Summer Hydrangea has a mounding, compact, symmetrical habit. They are season-long bloomers, with new flowers maturing and blooming continuously, throughout the spring, summer, and fall. This variety of hydrangea is adaptable and low-maintenance. Hydrangeas make excellent cut flowers and are a favorite of growers and florists for their long vase life and dried flower appeal.
Sweet Summer Hydrangea Care
The low-maintenance Sweet Summer Hydrangea thrives in full sun to partial shade. It should be watered regularly until established, about an inch of water per week. These hydrangeas perform best in consistently moist soil. You should feed your hydrangeas every year with a time-release, organic fertilizer.
This variety grows on both old and new wood and requires minimal pruning. To control the height or shape of your Sweet Summer, prune it back in early spring to encourage new growth, increased branching, and stronger blooms.
Sweet Summer Hydrangea Spacing
When planting your Sweet Summer Hydrangea, space plants 3 feet apart center to center in areas where they can receive adequate airflow. The Sweet Summer Hydrangea can be used in arrangements and bouquets to provide elegant color and dimension. They are stunning when planted in compact spaces, and are excellent options for pots and containers. They provide an ornamental focal point in any landscape.

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.
