A compact reblooming hydrangea that opens in late spring and keeps producing fresh mophead flowers right through fall.
Grin and Tonic™ is a dwarf bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) bred for nonstop color in a tidy, rounded mound just 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Because it blooms on both old and new wood, you get the full, rounded mophead flowers in early summer and a steady stream of reblooms after — in pink in alkaline soils or blue in acidic ones, with shifting pastel tones in between. The glossy, deep-green foliage stays handsome all season and sets off the big flower clusters beautifully. Its small footprint makes it one of the most versatile flowering shrubs you can plant.
Why growers choose the Grin and Tonic™ hydrangea
True reblooming habit. Flowers form on old and new wood, so blooms keep coming spring through fall instead of a single early flush.
Color you can tune. Mophead flowers shift from clear blue in acidic soil to rich pink in alkaline soil, giving you control over the palette.
Compact, well-behaved size. A 2-to-3-foot rounded mound fits foundations, borders, and large containers without crowding or constant pruning.
Reliable cold hardiness. Hardy in zones 5 through 9, it weathers real winters and returns dependably.
Classic, full mophead flowers. Large rounded clusters in lush, saturated color give the romantic look gardeners love from bigleaf hydrangeas.
Plant it in a shaded foundation bed, layer several as a low informal hedge, tuck it into a mixed border for summer-long color, or grow a single specimen in a generous patio container near a spot where you relax in the afternoon.
