Nantucket Blue™ Hydrangea produces large mophead flower clusters that are typically rich blue in color. Like many bigleaf hydrangeas, the exact bloom color can vary depending on soil pH. In acidic soil, the flowers tend to appear deeper blue, while in neutral to alkaline soil, the blooms may shift toward blue-purple or pink tones. The large rounded flower heads create a classic hydrangea look and provide vibrant color throughout the summer blooming season.

Hydrangeas prefer consistently moist soil, so regular watering is important, especially during hot weather.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
