The Fairytrail™ series of cascading hydrangeas are known for their graceful arching branches, each node topped with a big gorgeous bloom. Meaning you get a fluffed up, fountain-like mass of flowers in the late spring. A brand new way to enjoy hydrangeas! Fairytrail™ Green, in particular, features cool, lime-green flowers. It is well suited for containers, hanging baskets, and areas in the landscape where it can drape dramatically, like at the top of a retaining wall.

Maintenance Notes:We recommend a minimum of six hours of sun for the strongest stems and the most abundant flowers. In hot climates, afternoon shade is beneficial, but some sun is still recommended for the best results.
Cascade hydrangeas bloom on old wood, so it's best to avoid pruning them, except to remove any dead wood. These hydrangeas cannot be cut back or trimmed at any time of the year without impacting the bloom for either the current season or the next.
A 2-3" (5-7.6 cm) layer of shredded bark mulch helps shallow-rooted hydrangeas to conserve moisture and keep roots growing vigorously, which ensures the best performance. Fertilize in early spring, after the ground has thawed but before new growth begins, to ensure the best results.
