Grin & Tonic Hydrangea

Grin and Tonic™ Reblooming Hydrangea

Grin & Tonic Hydrangea is a lively and refreshing selection known for its standout lime-green blooms that gradually soften to light blush or creamy pink as they mature. This color shift creates a dynamic, season-long display that brightens shady borders, entryways, and container plantings. The rounded mophead flowers sit on sturdy stems, ensuring that blossoms remain upright and beautifully presented, even during rainy or windy weather. Its rich green foliage adds texture and fullness, providing a lush backdrop for the vibrant blooms.

Compact and dependable, Grin & Tonic Hydrangea typically grows 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for both small and large garden spaces. It performs best in partial shade, particularly with morning sun, and thrives in well-drained, fertile soils enriched with organic matter. This variety is appreciated not only for its beauty but also for its low-maintenance nature and reliable summer-through-fall flowering. Whether showcased as a specimen plant, used to anchor foundation beds, or planted in groups for bold impact, Grin & Tonic Hydrangea delivers cheerful color and elegant form with minimal effort.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in partial shade with morning sun and afternoon shade. Use fertile, well-drained soil amended with compost.

Watering:
Maintain consistent moisture. Deep watering during dry spells promotes healthy growth and long-lasting blooms.

Pruning:
Prune lightly after flowering. Since it blooms on old wood, avoid heavy pruning. Remove dead or weak stems in early spring.

Pest Control:
Check occasionally for aphids, mites, and mildew. Improve airflow and treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if needed.

Soil Tips:
Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Mulch to conserve moisture. Adjust pH to influence bloom tones, acidic soils shift blooms toward softer pink.
