Monrovia Enchantress Hydrangea

The flower color depends on your soil pH. To encourage blue blooms, your soil needs to be acidic; you can lower the pH by adding aluminum sulfate or garden sulfur. If your soil is naturally alkaline, the flowers will lean toward pink.

Yes, it is a reblooming variety. It produces its first flush of mophead flowers in the spring and will continue to push out new blooms throughout the summer, giving you consistent color for months.

At maturity, the Blue Enchantress reaches about 5 feet in height and 5 feet in width. Make sure to plant it at least 5 feet away from other shrubs or structures to allow for proper airflow and growth.

You should prune this hydrangea immediately after it finishes flowering. Because it is a rebloomer, pruning too late in the season or in early spring can accidentally remove the buds that would have produced your summer flowers.

Absolutely. Because it reaches a manageable 5-foot size, it performs well in large containers. Just ensure the pot has excellent drainage and keep a close eye on moisture levels, as containers dry out faster than garden soil.

This variety is hardy down to Zone 4, meaning it is quite cold-tolerant. As a deciduous plant, it will lose its leaves in the winter and go dormant, then return with fresh growth once temperatures warm up in the spring.
