TUFF STUFF AH-HA® is an outstanding hydrangea serrata, performing beautifully in both the landscape and containers! The large dinner-plate-sized blooms have sterile florets that are doubled and water-lily like.  Depending on your soil's pH level, colors will range from a lovely light blue to a soft pink.  Since TUFF STUFF AH-HA® is a reblooming hydrangea it is important to remember that the best display comes from treating them as though they bloom only old wood and keeping pruning to a minimum.

Uses Notes: 

Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha hydrangea works in many landscape applications. We recommend a minimum of 4 hours of sun each day for best flowering and color. In hot climates, shade during the hottest part of the day is imperative.

Maintenance Notes: 

Tuff Stuff Ah-Ha hydrangea does not need pruning except to remove any dead wood in early spring. You should not cut back or trim this plant at any time of the year, as doing so will remove flower buds. Hydrangeas are shallow-rooted and benefit from a 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch. If you wish, you may fertilize in early spring, once the ground has thawed, with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer. 

This plant does not require deadheading, though if you wish to remove spent flowers, you may.

Fun Facts: 

2021 Hydrangea of the Year.

Mountain hydrangeas, Hydrangea serrata, are native to the same areas of Japan as big-leaf hydrangea, Hydrangea macrophylla. However, big-leaf hydrangeas grow along the mild coast while mountain hydrangeas grow up in the mountains. As a result, they have naturally developed flower buds that are more tolerant to cold conditions than big-leaf hydrangeas, so they bloom more reliably in USDA zones 5 and 6.
