Notes
'Brügg' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Brügg') is a shrub for cut flowers, hedges, privacy screens, and shade gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast, blooms from early to late summer, and tolerates salt. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it room to fill out its erect shape.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Lady fern, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Lungwort.
