This is one of the cutest little shrubs I grow in my home garden. The 2 feet tall plant surprises me each summer with a few large cherry blooms. In this blog post I share my thoughts on the ‘Cherry Explosion Hydrangea’.
Cherry Explosion Hydrangea Review
I can’t believe it has been growing in my garden since 2019. Time sure does fly even when it comes to shrubs that do not disappoint. The first bloom starts to appear in early summer on this compact shrub. In this video I share what the shrub looks like during its third summer in my Ohio garden. The plant is one that gets alot of pampering in the mostly shade location. Take a look at the video feature on this post and scroll down to Lets Connect section to leave comments.
This is one of the many videos on my Bren Haas Channel. I hope you are able to view it easily and were inspired perhaps to grow one of your own.
Cherry Explosion Hydrangea Growing Thoughts
When the plant starts showing signs of life with new dark green leaves in late spring it is always a treat. The foliage looks amazing under my small Japanese Maple tree outside the sunroom. This is the second year I decided to give the plant a food feeding. Fertilizing the plant brings on a few extra blooms. It is worth noting that both plants put on about 3-5 large blooms during the summer season at about 2 feet tall and wide.
This plant is a feature shrub at New Star Roses & Plants website.
