FlowerFull Hydrangea

Hydrangea macrophylla × serrata hybrid

FlowerFull® Hydrangea is a compact, floriferous hydrangea bred for exceptional bloom coverage and improved cold-climate performance. Unlike traditional bigleaf hydrangeas, FlowerFull produces flowers more reliably, even after winter, making it a standout choice for northern gardeners who want consistent colour.

Large, showy blooms appear in early summer and continue to refresh the plant with colour through the season. Its tidy growth habit makes it especially well-suited to foundation plantings, containers, and mixed borders, where space and performance both matter.
