Hydrangea SSD Hamptons

Seaside Serenade® Hamptons Hydrangea

Hamptons Hydrangea captures the breezy elegance of coastal landscapes with its soft, romantic blooms and naturally refined form. Its generous mophead flower clusters begin as a creamy white and gradually take on hues of blue or pink depending on soil conditions. This graceful color transition adds depth and movement to the garden from early summer through fall. With its rounded shape and lush, dark green foliage, Hamptons Hydrangea creates a serene, upscale aesthetic reminiscent of coastal cottage gardens and Hamptons-style landscapes.

This hydrangea is known for its dependable performance and low-maintenance nature. Thriving in partial shade and tolerant of humidity, it performs exceptionally well in coastal regions but adapts easily to inland gardens as well. Its sturdy stems support the large blossoms, keeping them upright even during breezy or rainy conditions. Whether used as a foundation plant, in mixed borders, or arranged in groups for a soft, billowing effect, Hamptons Hydrangea brings sophistication, charm, and reliable seasonal color to any outdoor space.

Care Instructions

Planting
Choose a site with morning sun and afternoon shade. Set the root ball level with the soil surface and provide ample spacing for airflow and mature spread.

Watering
Keep soil consistently moist. Deep water 1–2 times per week, increasing frequency during heat or dry periods. Avoid allowing soil to fully dry out.

Pruning
Prune after flowering. Remove spent blooms and thin older stems to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth.

Pest Control
Monitor for aphids, spider mites, and fungal leaf spots. Apply neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed and maintain good airflow.

Soil Tips
Use rich, well-draining soil. Acidic soil promotes blue blooms; neutral to alkaline soil encourages pink tones. Add compost annually for improved nutrients and moisture retention.
