Nantucket Blue (grenan)

12 years ago

Do these have a mounding habit? Or more wild growth? How big do they actually get? Deciding between these and more Endless Summer.
I'll be putting them next to an Annabelle and hoping for a neat, mounding hydrangea, like my ESs grow. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Garden Debut (primary marketer of the plant) claims a compact mounding habit. And claims this can reach 4-6 feet.

There is little photographic evidence of mature plants. But probably wouldn't hurt to try one either way. It might possess traits that could supersede ES in your area.

Thank you. I'm also having a hard time finding pictures of mature NBs. My dilemma is that I have a wraparound porch that starts three feet off the ground. Top railing is at six feet height. I'm wondering if they will get too big or messy looking for the front of the house.
