Hydrangea macrophylla Cabaret™
A repeat bloomer that commands attention.
An enticing new Hydrangea, Cabaret has “all the things” going for it. A well-branched, compact grower, you will easily find 12-15 blooms on a 6” plant.
Rounded pink or blue flowers, (depending on the soil) bloom on new wood from buds that set below the soil line, making it an excellent garden variety where the ground doesn’t freeze or where mulching can serve as insulation. In colder areas use as a patio plant for months of color. A repeat bloomer, Cabaret is a Hydrangea that commands an audience. All that’s required of you is to choose a good garden seat so you can sit back and enjoy the performance!
