Cityline® Rio Hydrangea

The Cityline® Rio Hydrangea brings you wonderful deep blue blossoms in large heads on compact plants. Blooming for weeks and weeks over summer, this is the ideal way to enjoy hydrangeas in smaller gardens or in pots. These plants have many stems on a plant less than 3 feet tall, and those sturdy stems hold the blooms up straight, without flopping. The best blues are seen on acid soil, but even without that their beautiful purple coloring creates a head-turning display. As groups planted in the foreground of larger beds, as an edging, or in planters or pots, you will love the rich color this plant brings into your garden, whatever size it is.

• Fabulous blooms of the richest deep blue
• Full size mophead flower heads on compact plants
• Sturdy stems hold the big flowers up well
• Long blooming period
• Ideal for containers and planter boxes

The Cityline® Rio Hydrangea grows best in moist soil that is well-drained and rich in organic material. This plant is not drought tolerant, and good watering in summer is important. It should have full sun in cool zones, and afternoon shade, or light, dappled shade, in warmer zones. At the foot of a north-facing wall or fence is an ideal location. In containers, use soil for acid-loving plants, and feed regularly with fertilizer blended specifically for blue hydrangeas.
