Cherry Explosion Hydrangea - 3 Gal - Deciduous Shrub

Cherry Explosion Hydrangea, known botanically as Hydrangea macrophylla 'McKay' (PP# 28757), is a deciduous shrub highly valued for its abundant clusters of vibrant, cherry red florets that adorn its branches from June through late September. This unique lacecap variety distinguishes itself prominently among other hydrangeas available in the market.

Ideally suited for USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9, Cherry Explosion thrives in environments where it receives afternoon shade and a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight daily. Adequate watering is crucial during the establishment phase. The pH levels of the soil play a significant role in determining the coloration of the blooms, offering potential for variations based on local soil conditions.

Once established, Cherry Explosion demonstrates resilience to both heat and humidity, making it a reliable choice for gardens experiencing warmer climates. At maturity, this shrub typically reaches a maximum height and width of approximately three feet, maintaining a compact yet robust presence in garden settings.

Beyond its ornamental appeal in the landscape, Cherry Explosion Hydrangea also serves as an excellent candidate for fresh cut flower arrangements, showcasing its striking blooms indoors.
