Wee Bit Grumpy® is a hydrangea that commands attention with its intense, saturated flower color and exceptional landscape performance. In acidic soils, expect dramatic deep purple-blue blooms that exude mood and mystery, while neutral or basic soils bring out vivid red hues that pop with vibrancy. Surrounded by a compact mound of neat, disease-resistant foliage, this variety also stands up better to cold weather than conventional hydrangeas. With re-blooming flowers all summer long and dark green, glossy leaves, Wee Bit Grumpy® is a stunning, reliable addition to any garden.

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Avoid pruning bigleaf hydrangeas, 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. Soil pH affects flower color, so expect appealing pink in neutral to slightly alkaline soil and a beautiful soft blue in acidic soils that contain aluminum.
