Plant description
This compact, deciduous shrub produces an abundance of bold, rounded flower heads, blooming more reliably and repeatedly during the season than standard Hydrangea arborescens cultivars.
With strong, upright stems that resist flopping, it stands tall even in wind and rain, ensuring a long-lasting display. Ideal for borders or mixed planting schemes, its lush, disease-resistant foliage remains clean throughout the season, providing a striking contrast to the flowers.
Hydrangea arborescens ‘FlowerWOW’ is a relatively easy option, once established, for gardeners looking for reliable blooms and excellent weather resistance in a modestly low maintenance plant with high floral impact.
Perfect for pollinators and cut flowers, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade.

How to care for Hydrangea arborescens FlowerWOW (´BALful´) (PBR):
Choose a spot with partial shade to full sun, though at hotter, sunnier times of the year, partial shade is preferable to protect the blooms and avoid the plant wilting after planting. The soil should be well-drained, rich, and consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep, then mix in plenty of organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with the enriched soil, and water thoroughly. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep the roots cool, but keep the mulch away from the stem to prevent rot.
Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells, to ensure the plant establishes well and produces abundant blooms - hydrangeas do not like to dry out. Remove faded flowerheads in spring after the danger of frosts, cutting back the flowered stems to a strong pair of buds. Take out misplaced or diseased shoots.
Once established, remove a quarter to a third of the shoots to the base of the plant.
