    Very large mophead style blooms. Flowers on both old and new wood. Blooms will be pink in alkaline soil, and blue in acidic soil.

    In zone 5-6, plant in full sun to partial shade.
    In zones 7-9, plant in partial shade

    Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10. Mulch with 3-4" of organic mulch year round, and water occasionally throughout fall and winter, especially before a hard freeze.
