The Tiny Tuff Stuff™ Hydrangea by Proven Winners ColorChoice® is the smallest, most compact hydrangea we offer. Don’t let that fool you though. This shrub packs a colorful punch, with beautiful flowers that rebloom all season long. Being small doesn’t impact the toughness if this plant either. This mountain hydrangea can tolerate very cold winter conditions, and does very well in areas that macrophylla hydrangeas struggle in.

The flowers are either pink, purple or blue depending on soil pH. The blooms will be more lavender or pink in acidic soils, and blue in soils with less pH. Add aluminum to lower the pH of the soil, and encourage blue flowers.

Tiny Tuff Stuff Hydrangea Care

These miniature hydrangeas need well drained soil. We also recommend adding a layer of mulch, which does two things. First, the mulch helps protect the shallow roots in cold climates. Second, the mulch helps keep moisture around the plant. And hydrangeas love water, as long as it is well drained. Plant this shrub in a location that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight. Afternoon shade is best for this plant, especially in southern locations, like zones 8 and 9.

You do not need to prune Tiny Tuff Stuff hydrangeas. These plants are already small, and grow in a mounding habit naturally. Also the plant flowers on new and old wood. So you could potentially cut off flower buds for the next blooming season. We do recommend trimming off dead or sick branches as-needed throughout the year.

Fertilize in early spring using a controlled release fertilizer. Do so before new growth starts to appear on the plant. The fertilizer should be formulated for woody plants such as roses or trees.

Tiny Tuff Stuff Hydrangea Spacing

These shrubs should be planted 18 to 24 inches apart, center on center. If you choose to grow these as a landscaping border, you can plant 14 to 18 inches apart, center on center. These also do very well in garden planters. Use same spacing guidelines as stated above if you want to plant more than 1 shrub per container.

    Sad

    Posted by Janice Thompson on Sep 07, 2021

    I ordered 8 of the tiny stuff hydrangeas and was very excited when they arrived. We planted and followed directions but the plants have not done well at all. Of the 8 plants, 2 have some greenery left on them, the rest are all woody. I sent pictures in to Richard to review waiting for a reply. I feel all 8 need to be replaced but dealing with customer service thus far has been positive.
