The very first Hydrangea I ever owned was from a florist shop. I added it to my home garden in town and it died. Most importantly, I didn’t give up after adding the plant to the compost pile. In 2018 there are over 8 different varieties of Hydrangeas growing in my country garden. Below are a few I highly recommend most anyone to add to their home garden.

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.

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. At The End Of The Season The blooms just keep on giving as we head into late summer on my Cherry Explosion Hydrangea. I do like to cut back the dried blooms by this time to prepare for winter. Lastly note that my shrub is protected by the raised bed landscape and live mulch. https://youtu.be/Zt97Rb87izs This video is from my home garden in late summer. The shrub at this time is 3 years old. This plant is a feature shrub at New Star Roses & Plants website.
