Green flowers in the garden are always worth a second look. Tilt a Swirl™ Hydrangea not only has a gorgeous lime green center, but juicy raspberry edges that give the giant bloom heads a very fun and light hearted feel. The compact shape of this deciduous shrub makes it a good fit for even the smallest of gardens. The low maintenance aspect makes it great for any sized garden,
Tilt A Swirl™ Blooms heavily in most light conditions, from full sun to mostly shade. The blooms make long lasting cut flowers. The dried blooms tend to keep their color better than other varieties. This patented Hydrangea will really appreciate a shady afternoon spot in the hotter zones of its range. Pests and diseases are rarely issues for Hydrangeas.
Tilt A Swirl™ Hydrangea Care
This Hydrangea will tolerate a wide range of soil pH and texture. A well drained and moist soil is a must. Hydrangeas like to have consistent moisture throughout the summer. Fertilizing is done once a season as the new growth emerges in the spring. A well balanced, slow release fertilizer is recommended. The blooming of this variety is constant and consistent throughout the summer. Deadheading can be done in the summer to keep the overall shape tidy.
Pruning of dead, dying, diseased and diagonal branches is best done early in the spring before new growth starts. Any heavy pruning to rejuvenate this shrub will cause a year’s delay of blooms. Hydrangeas make lovely low growing hedges that have an informal feel to them. They should not be treated as clipped hedges if the blooms are desired.
Tilt A Swirl™ Hydrangea Spacing
Tilt A Swirl™ is the perfect compact shape at 3 feet high and 3 feet wide. When planted as a hedge or in the garden border a 3 foot on center spacing is needed. Hydrangeas planted in containers will need at least a 24 inch diameter.

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.
