Hydrangea serrata ‘Blueberry Cheesecake’ Description

Hydrangea serrata ‘Blueberry Cheesecake’ is a compact deciduous mountain hydrangea grown for its decorative, layered flower heads. The lacecap-style blooms combine blue, violet and purple tones in acidic soil, often with paler or greenish details that give the flowers a two-tone appearance. In neutral conditions the display can become pinker. Plants remain relatively compact and are suitable for smaller borders and large containers. Grow in partial shade in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains consistently moist but drains freely. Hydrangea serrata generally copes well with cold conditions and is a good choice for Irish gardens. Avoid allowing container plants to dry out. Prune conservatively in spring, removing dead wood and old flower heads while retaining healthy stems that may carry flower buds.
