HYDRANGEA MAC MERRITTS SUPREME
Grower Notes:
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Merritt's Supreme' is commonly referred to as Merritt's Supreme Hydrangea. This compact and dense, mophead cultivar is one of the showiest summer-blooming hydrangeas with deep pink (or blue) globe-shaped blooms surrounded by dark green foliage. Flower color is dependent on the acidity of the soil. Reds and pinks occur in more alkaline soils while blues and lavenders occur in more acidic soils. The addition of aluminum sulfate to the soil will encourage more vivid blue color and adding lime will produce pink flowers. It blooms on old wood so protect the flower buds over winter, if necessary.
Merritt's Supreme Hydrangea enjoys partial sun in rich, organic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Its size and long-blooming habit make Merritt's Supreme Hydrangea a perfect choice for flower arrangements.
