Bigleaf Hydrangea 'Big Daddy'

The Bigleaf Hydrangea 'Big Daddy' (PP14527) is a mophead cultivar hybridized by Johnson and introduced in 2002. It is named for its exceptionally large flower heads—up to 14 inches across—composed of numerous individual florets. The flowers are a rich pink in alkaline soils and blue in acidic soils. This cultivar makes a bold statement in the garden and is excellent for cut flowers.
