Key features from breeder:

Summer Crush features raspberry red or neon purple blooms, a color breakthrough in reblooming garden hydrangeas. Bred by Bailey Innovations, this new addition to the Endless Summer brand is the result of focused breeding and years of production and field testing. This compact growing hydrangea, with dark green glossy leaves, fits smaller spaces in the garden and patio containers.
