A Bailey Nurseries introduction, The Original is a mop-head type hydrangea with the unique ability to bloom consistently on both old and new wood. The result is a plant that provides beautiful flowers all summer long. The flowers grow up to 8" in diameter, with pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue blooms in acidic soil. Since The Original blooms on new wood, removal of spent flowers will encourage rebloom. (CPBR2305, C®)
