Wee Bit Grumpy Hydrangea
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wee Bit Grumpy’
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Stragrum', commonly known as Wee Bit Grumpy, is a compact, reblooming bigleaf hydrangea prized for its intensely saturated, moody purple-blue flowers and dense, tidy habit . This Proven Winners selection forms a dwarf, mounded shrub of glossy, disease-resistant dark green foliage, delivering big, dramatic blooms from early summer through fall without taking up much garden space . The flower color varies dramatically with soil pH: vivid hot pink or bright red in neutral to alkaline soils, and deep, royal purple-blue in acidic conditions . Exceptionally rugged, cold-hardy, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for small gardens, borders, foundation plantings, and containers .
