Hydrangea macrophylla Seaside Serenade® Kitty Hawk™
A bright performer with star-shaped blooms
Another showy rebloomer from the Seaside Serenade® collection, Kitty Hawk brightens the landscape with a profusion of star-shaped flower clusters held on sturdy stems.
A true performer, blooms emerge light green before transitioning to pink in alkaline soils or shades of purple-blue in acidic conditions. Thick, dark green foliage resists wilting in the afternoon heat, keeping the plant looking fresh all season long. Excellent for cut-flower arrangements, this compact grower is also well-suited for containers, mass plantings, or as an eye-catching garden specimen. Sold exclusively through Monrovia Growers.
