Hydrangea macrophylla Seaside Serenade® Cape Lookout

Soft pink flowers with hints of green.

Named in commemoration of Oregon’s national seashore preserve, Cape Lookout Hydrangea offers something special for everyone. Soft-pink flowers with hints of mint-green offer a calm, meditative effect in a garden setting. A repeat bloomer, this stunning Hydrangea continues to produce firm new blooms throughout the summer from buds set below the ground the year before - perfect for cutting to bring indoors. Later in the season, as the flowers mature, the pink fades, turning mint-green with soft, red edges – another opportunity to take advantage of their long, extended vase life, which can last up to a month or more! Offered exclusively through the Monrovia® Plant Collection. Pruning: Plants can be pruned to 12-15” in late fall/early spring as long as you add mulch in the fall.

This plant is sold exclusively in the Monrovia® Plant Collection.
